(Verse)
You eat me like I'm between
chopsticks.
You make me feel like I'm
the only one; the way
you spell it out like that
with your
(mmm, with that
tongue, boy...)
Boy you're so
obnoxious!
You so greedy,
making me needy
I want some
I want some
I'm learning how to hold on
strong
to something that feels
finally sure!
Baby, you're every kinda different.
This thing might be regular
but it ain't...yeah
...Im learning that...
You my new habit,
Addicted to you, and the way your hands handle Me.
This so new, but I guess I finally learned that...
(Hook)
Thats the way love goes
Thats the way love goes
Thats the way love goes
Thats the way love goes

(Hook)
I wanna make a home
between the ghettos of my bones again.
I need knees so sure,
that a scrape or two won't stop me from
playing.
Maybe I'll take off all my clothes,
maybe the only touch I need is my own;
been a long long while
since that feeling inside.
I think I'll say goodbye to you.
I think right now I've got a job to do!
Forget the latex,
forget the lube:
I'm going to the playground
(Verse 1)
Left to my own devices,
I can
be as
good or bad as I please!
Oh, I really think I really earned it,
thru as much bullshit I've been
I could be discouraged,
but what's a hiccup to a queen?
Outside there's worlds to turn,
and fears to burn,
but right now is just
for me...
(Break) (both voices entwined)
Connecting
to my pet,
It used to feel so good
And I bet
if I really get my mind working
I could really get the water working
I remember that one time
So divine...
Can't believe this playground's all mine!
(Verse 2)
[Speaking] Alright boss, listen
I'm finna take off earlyyyy!
I'm tryna see how high I can take this swing
I love how it feels when I go down the sliiide
Been such a while since I've played on this thing
Too much stress being grown
I almost forgot how to be
Going thru my nerves with a five-fingered comb
Yeah I'm about to get busy
Wait I...I think I'm getting...
Don't think I can ... wait for it
[Repeat hook]

(Verse)
Motivation
behind my
most elaborate plans.
So secret, I
only whisper them to
myself (to myself).
Cuz mama don't know
you've gotten even
gotten even further
than just my bed;
You're tuck deep in my head...
So clichè
but its burning;
fiery is my yearning.
In places you've never been,
but I'm hoping you'll find
Secret of mine
(Break/Hook)
(Thinking of you) and all the things
I'm hoping you to be
Yeah I know
I'm selfishly dreaming
Oh I'm
(Thinking of you)
Am i going crazy?
For making you an ideal?
Yeah,
I'm selfishly
Dreaming...
[Spoken Soliloquy] Sooner than later
desire can't be greater
and all I can see is
the color of passion
I guess that means I'm
Seeing Red?

(Verse 1)
Woke up from a dream last night;
to remember, it took awhile...
Ghosted from my memories,
but my eyes remember you well...
guess that's why I cry
without a why, so often,
maybe why I tell myself that lie
so often.
I hate the tear drops, but
I love the rain...
I've come to love you through my pain
and I dont know how to do anything else...
See where you left me?
A fit of tears, confusion, and
ultimately I
I
(HOOK)
I feel pain...
I feel pain...
I feel pain...
I just want the rain
(Verse 2)
All my memories of you are overcast.
Can't remember a single sun on your skin.
You were dark and beautiful...
I still carry you with me, you know.
Even your resistance, scared of being known
to be forgotten.
Scared of being known, so
you forgot me...
... I'm scared of finding you everywhere else, and
Stuck on finding you before me.
Before the thing inside of you broke,
and took you from me before I could even know
that all the mistakes and the pain you made with me
was just you suffering from your own...
(Verse 3)
Remember all the fish we used to find
at the end of your line?
I wish you taught me how to reel 'em in,
(just one more time)
Born tryna hook you onto mine
but every time I tried
you didn't take the bite.
The lake is wide,
you're on the other side.
Wish you'd swim over to me
I'm running out of bait, you're running out of minutes. It
shouldn't be like this
Don't you think 'bout how I eat?
...don't you think 'bout how I feel?
(Don't you think 'bout how I feel...?)
(Hook 2)
Now I know your pain
Your hand-me-down pain
Worst thing bout this pain
Is my need for rain
(Ending Break)
I hate the teardrops
but I love the rain...
I hate to cry, but I
need the pain...
You left me in a fit of tears,
in a predicament I
can't escape...

(Verse 1)
Innate
Instant, like tongue to taste,
I
feel like I knew it
before my eyes did.
Cues, cues
I knew
Before I knew myself
Step here,
Walk there,
Hands up,
Wutchu doin down there?
You,
hey you,
don't forget:
I know you
Remember my faces
Remember the squeeze
Rmember the breath
Rmember the tease
(Hook)
Isolate
Run your hand on down my cheeks,
exactly where I need to be
wont you get in so I can make it, yeah
Isolate
Running all over my thighs,
I wanna keep it inside
Keep the rhythm make it
Isolate
Isolate
Yeah
(Verse 2)
After you leave, Im alone
I usually like it like that,
I need my room
Space
to process you,
to process me
to clean up the mess,
but
today...
something new
I think my skin
Is a notch too cool:
its missing you!
What is this feeling?
I can't complain,
Im in over my head
Yeah
(Break)
I think
its best
that I stay
to myself;
Feeling kinda dangerous, yeah
Im feeling weak
I'm not that woman
I want for nothing
But I could use
a little more time
How did you cum on my mind?
Im 'bout a second from calling you back
I want you here...
(Hook 2)
Isolate
Maybe i should stay inside
And rub you off my mind
Oh
Oh
Isolate
I got shit to do,
but I'm here
thinking of you
The fuck is this...
I can't believe it...damn
(Ending break)
Isolate
Got me here thinkin 'bout punishment
This isn't supposed to happen
(Laugh)
Can I let you know?
Gotta I let you know
Isolate
Short term memory,
coming in long,
cumming in fast --
Fuck it
I'm bout to call you back...
yeah
