She became filled earlier
As the late of destiny carved her creation
To the unsuspecting few
Holding in and hiding the pregnancy
She continued the dance, she moved
A year before now the dance would draw to an end
And the cleansing would need to begin
This next breed would be the bridge into the millenium
I was brought in then
I was then blessed to aid the midwives
Thirty nine weeks crawled
And it seemed as if this walk would never run
Until she pulled a plushe filled push
And out from her came them
Each a radiant distinctive
Familiar as I have never seen in gazes before
They were filled blessed like thrills
I wondered their names as she thought
To me a thought in confidence
That she would make the news known soon
Dispelling shame
She assured me of no crime
As I was lost in the beholding
When the world looked upon
The coven they wondered the father
They suspected the mother, they insulted
For some connection
When in fact they were the bond
It took a moment as they would find individual lovers
Out of each of the babies
I looked on, hoping they would understand the growth
Not quite sure if I'd ever begin to myself
I would soon learn that ones here before me
Would usher in the next trinity of beings
I would soon learn that this
Was the scratch on the surface yet to be formed
Was I prepared? This would begin the domino effect
Of a million questions unanswered

Everwanting: To Want You To Want
[1] - Lay all night, here on top
If you want to
I'm giving you all I've got, every drop
Don't you want to
Minus my negative
Change what I thought I'd never
Spoke a kiss, verbal bliss
And I was made a much mo' better
Cause where you touched was such a no-no
A blushe filled plushe
I loved it oh so,
I love it oh so much
It's suiter than candy
Could all this lust be a symptom of you
Lay all night here on top if you want to
I'm giving you every drop
Don't you want to
Everwanting to want you to want
Burn the cold, take the snow
Make July out of December
Light the night in afterlife
And make this soul a much mo' better
Cause where you touched
How could you know
A blushe filled plushe
I love it oh so much,
Could all this lust be a symptom of you
[Repeat 1]
Everwanting to want you to want
If you want to
I'm giving you all I've got, every drop
Don't you want to

And I was made a much mo' better
Cause where you touched was such a no-no
A blushe filled plushe
I loved it oh so,
I love it oh so much
It's suiter than candy
Could all this lust be a symptom of you
Lay all night here on top if you want to
I'm giving you every drop
Don't you want to
Everwanting to want you to want
Burn the cold, take the snow
Make July out of December
Light the night in afterlife
And make this soul a much mo' better
Cause where you touched
How could you know
A blushe filled plushe
I love it oh so much,
Could all this lust be a symptom of you

I'm You: You Are Me and We Are You (Pt. Me & You)
I'm you: you are me and we are you
I'm you: you are me and we are you
I'm you: you are me and we are you
Estoy alcanzando
Muy profundo adentro
Profundo en mi
Donde ella vivir
Un vuelo alto
Como si un cielo
En frente de mi
Donde tu vas a estar
I'm you: you are me and we are you
I'm you: you are me and we are you
I'm you: you are me and we are you
I'm reaching for this deep inside
This deep in me
Where she resides
A higher fly as if a sky
Beyond the me
Where you will be
I'm you: you are me and we are you
I'm you: you are me and we are you
I'm you: you are me and we are you
I'm you: you are me and we are you
I'm you: you are me and we are you

I'm you: you are me and we are you
I'm you: you are me and we are you
I'm you: you are me and we are you

Luxury: Cococure
Took a high from a low
Took my icy freeze and thawed the cold
An inspired undisclosed
It's a privacy that y'all should know
Never wonder cause I know
Ain't no other got this flow
Lady lover, lady soul
You're my discovered pot of gold
I found a cure for this
Cococure for this
It's got me plushed on some luxurious
Cococure
It's a happy in a sad
It's a more that's less
It's a glad, drive me crazy (oh baby)
You're my mommy, you're my dad
Lady lover never go
You're the part of my heart that is soul
I found a cure for this
Cococure for this
It's got me plushed on some luxurious
Cococure
Took my icy freeze and thawed the cold
An inspired undisclosed
It's a privacy that y'all should know
Never wonder cause I know

Drowndeep: Hula
Confusing as this is
I hope my kiss can rectify
The lack of part time bliss
A weightlessness inside
Your life, Your life, your life
[1] - Oohh waah let's drown deep in us
Oohh waah make no fight, no fuss
Oohh waah come drown deep in us
In us, in us, in us, in us
I'll wear your liquid kiss
And watch as if inside
Dispel the negative
As if a myth alive
Why should I let you go
How could I let you go
When we be up here all alone
Hula hula baby
[Repeat 1]
I hope my kiss can rectify
The lack of part time bliss
A weightlessness inside
Your life, Your life, your life
[1] - Oohh waah let's drown deep in us
Oohh waah make no fight, no fuss
Oohh waah come drown deep in us
In us, in us, in us, in us
I'll wear your liquid kiss
And watch as if inside
Dispel the negative
As if a myth alive
Why should I let you go
How could I let you go
When we be up here all alone
Hula hula baby

Know These Things: Shouldnt You
You stung, as if you knew I'd sting right there
And you shouldn't know these things about me
Abused as if your pain would quench my fear
How could you know these things about me
You shouldn't know these things
And be this awfully well in tune
Go as if not aware be like those others that assume
You knew and you still managed to find my stare
And you shouldn't know these things about me
You shouldn't know these things about me
And be this awfully well in tune
Go on as if not aware
Go on and be those that presume
That they could know these things about me
Be as if not aware
Be mystified as this appears
Lay still, be as my will
And promise that you'll wait to kill
And whisper that you know these things
Tell me you know these things
Show me you know these things
About me
And you shouldn't know these things about me
Abused as if your pain would quench my fear
How could you know these things about me
You shouldn't know these things
And be this awfully well in tune
Go as if not aware be like those others that assume
You knew and you still managed to find my stare
And you shouldn't know these things about me
You shouldn't know these things about me
And be this awfully well in tune
Go on as if not aware
Go on and be those that presume
That they could know these things about me
Be as if not aware
Be mystified as this appears
Lay still, be as my will
And promise that you'll wait to kill
And whisper that you know these things
Tell me you know these things
Show me you know these things
About me

Submerge: Til We Become The Sun
Over to under
Enter your wonder baby
Submerge into me baby
And take me to higher
Submerge within the light
Illuminate my night
And let your atmosphere surround me
Submerge within the light all night
Til we become the sun
See if I'm breathing
Because I'm not sure if I'm alive
Words are demeaning
They can't describe
Submerge within the light
Illuminate my night
And let your atmosphere surround me
Submerge within the light all night
Til we become the sun
Enter your wonder baby
Submerge into me baby
And take me to higher
Submerge within the light
Illuminate my night
And let your atmosphere surround me
Submerge within the light all night
Til we become the sun
See if I'm breathing
Because I'm not sure if I'm alive
Words are demeaning
They can't describe
Submerge within the light
Illuminate my night
And let your atmosphere surround me
Submerge within the light all night
Til we become the sun

Gravity: Pushing To Pull
All my days and
All my nights and
Every hour is devoured
As the dawnin
Strokes it's mornin
I'll be wantin I'll be
Pushing to pull me
Closer to you dear
Deeper than gravity
Is how I must be near
I'll be hunting
As the moments
Drip like water
I'll be patient
For my slaughter
As the dawning
Slays the evening
I'll be waiting I'll be
Pushing to pull me
Closer to you dear
Deeper than gravity
Is how I must be near
I'll be hunting
And though you cause my callin
And though you smell I'm crawlin
You still ignore me watching every move babe
Every move babe
And though you taste I'm stalking
And though you know I'm haunting
You still ignore my atmosphere on you babe
On you babe
And all my days and
All my nights and
Every hour is devoured
As the dawnin strokes the mornin
I'll be wantin
I'll be hunting
Pull me
I'll be watching
Pull me
I'll be wanting
Pull me
I'll beloving
Pull me
I'll be nothing
All my nights and
Every hour is devoured
