BDSM (EP Version)

|

If you wanna leave me
I’ll make it easy
We all got that PTSD (PTSD!)
If I feel that we’re through
If it’s past our curfew
These nights all just leave me empty anyway
If you wanna hurt me
Baby, don’t worry (Don't worry!)
Give me that BDSM (BDSM!)
You know the safe word
Just tell me you want me
Go 'head and treat me as less than you did at the start
When I’m down, when I’m broke
Have the rest of me
On and off, new and old
Stuck in entropy
I know your anatomy
You know I’m your masterpiece
Yeah
I guess it’s just a one day kinda thing (Kinda thing!)
I hope that we’re a one day kinda thing
Leave a space there on my California queen
If you don’t know how to feel, just lie to me
She said you shouldn’t kiss me just so you feel something
Then she kissed me, yeah
I missed the last train, then she walked into the station
Said she was glad for once I’m bad with time
Missed your chance how many nights you wanna spend on this, yeah (Yeah!)
Do you really need closure?
You say, just one last time for you to hold her (One last time!)
Know you mean one last fuck cause you’re an ogre
When I’m down, when I’m broke
Have the rest of me
On and off, new and old
Stuck in entropy
I know your anatomy
You know I’m your masterpiece
Yeah
When I’m down, when I’m broke (When I'm down, when I'm broke)
Have the rest of me
On and off, new and old (On and off)
Stuck in entropy
I know your anatomy
You know I’m your masterpiece
Yeah
Guess it’s just a one day kinda thing (Kinda thing!)
I hope that we’re a one day kinda thing
Leave a space there on my California queen
If you don’t know how to feel, just lie to me
When I’m down, when I’m broke
Have the rest of me (When I'm down, when I'm broke)
On and off, new and old
Stuck in entropy (Have the rest of me)
I know your anatomy (I know your anatomy)
You know I’m your masterpiece
Yeah

Cosplay

Tell me what’s the deal?
Is this all just cosplay to you?
Are these feelings real?
Or am I shipping our alleles?
Cut me, tell me
What’s that blade you wield?
Unsheathed, swear I’ve seen that glint before, oh
Clothe me like the bad guy
So you can be
My heroine one last time (Girl, be my heroin one last time)
Tell me what’s the deal?
Is this all just cosplay to you? (What is this to you?)
Are these feelings real? (Something to ask yourself)
Or am I shipping our alleles?
You treat me like the monsters under your bed
We lay on your phantom threads (We lay with your phantoms)
Have I grown to a good man who could be one for you?
Or is it all cosplay?
Or is it all
Or is it all
Tell me what’s your deal? (You treat me like the monsters under)
Is this all just cosplay to me? (Cut me, tell me)
Do I want something real? (Clothe me like the bad guy)
Or am I shipping our alleles?
Tell me what’s the deal
'Cause I don't know anymore
Is this all just cosplay?
If you were what you mean to me, yeah
This wouldn’t go so easily

Pheromone

|

(Father, forgive me for you know that I am always sinning)
(Take no interest partying with liquor, fucking up my system)
(Excuse my language, that's a hang-up for how shitty I've been feeling)
(Sorry, I feel no attraction, I know that it's been a minute)
Your pheromones rest with me still
I'll give you all my words
I’ll keep them safe for you (Safe for you)
Oh, let me in under the veil
I'll give you shelter, shelter, shelter
Speak in tongues while I read from the braille (Speak in tongues, from the braille)
Say His name when I drink from the grail (Say His name)
Oh, your pheromones rest with me still (We always saw each other better in the dark)
Take me along (Take me when you)
When you return for them
I saw you best in the dark
Florescent desires
Do we gotta fuck for you to open up?
Your tears on my shoulders, our galaxy's new star (Yeah)
Come into mine, lay down your arms (你是不是看上我了?)
And I pray to gods within us who
Have lost all my trust that
You’ll let me protect you in the bad dreams
That haunt you at night
Are you afraid of love?
Ooh
I need you as more than a scent (Look who’s talking)
Your pheromones rest with me still
I'll give you all my words
I’ll keep them safe for you (Safe for you)
Oh, let me in under the veil
I'll give you shelter, shelter, shelter
Speak in tongues while I read from the braille (Speak in tongues, from the braille)
Say His name when I drink from the grail (Say His name, oh Amen)
Oh, your pheromones rest with me still (We always saw each other better in the dark)
Take me along (Take me when you)
When you return for them
Your pheromones, my pheromones
Yeah, the year is cold (The year is cold)
But you ain’t here alone (Nah, nah, nah)
Oh, let me in under the veil (Let me in)
(Sorry, I feel no attraction, I know that it's been a minute)
I get it

Stay the night
Even if you gotta leave in the light
Stay in my eyes
I need to feel you offline
Yeah
Grew my beard out and shaved it 3 times since we last hung
And you know me, that shit don’t grow fast
Unlike how we metastasized like all last month
Topaz month end, another sad song
I follow us through time with the tachyons
Too many motives in my world, fuck it, mask off
Too many Camrys at the end of the night
In my feelings off of emptiness and Canada Dry
If you’re getting cold feet, girl, I’ll bring you some slippers
Aw yeah
And I know we both got our fair share of stitches
Saw my ex on a dating app, guess we’re making laps (Laps, laps)
I see we’re both back to our old tricks (Back, back)
Good times on Betamax
Obsolete, but I still play it back for atonement, yeah
Feelings that I left unspoken
Said to the wrong damn people
Same confidantes, same homies (Same homies)
Is all that remains of the old peace, yeah yeah
Too many flings
Never no strings
A couple one-nights I ain’t mean it to be
Some 365s I ain’t mean it to be
Still don’t know what to call what’s between you and me
I been feeling like I live life in sprints
Start, stop, then start
Until the bubble pops on the Upper West Side
Pretzeled with you, can we stay like this?
Can we stay like this
Stay the night (Stay the night)
Even if you gotta leave in the light (Leave, oh)
Stay in my eyes (Stay in my eyes)
I need to feel you offline (Oh)
Please stay the night
Stay the night
Even if you gotta leave in the light
Stay in my eyes
I need to feel you offline

Yeah, ay
I don’t like saying goodbye
Man, I don’t like tell no lie
25, 25
Boy, go get 'em
Give you the update, if you ain’t catch it from the songs (Yeah)
Lil' bit of heartbreak, a bit more baggage on my arms (Uh, huh)
25, 25, My dad had his only son (25)
They all keep saying "only 25," but I wonder what I’m on
Ay, I’m all in on myself, your boy running a startup (He runnin')
COO, young CEO, pushing me because I am the product (Yeah, yeah)
Got my grandparents’ blessing, that and parent acceptance (What else?)
They trust me as a man, I guess everything switches
My grandmama gone, I finally got why y’all posting (No ad-libs)
RIP, on IG, fishing for likes in this moment
I don’t know who to go to, and I ain’t asking for condolence
But these tears aren’t flowing, what, you don’t count this as ghosting?
Then I partied the next day, actually I went out that night (That night)
Did I think about grandma, or just hope grandpa’ll be alright (I don't know)
And my other grandparents, only thing I hate is their mortality
Why aren’t I grieving for her 'stead of worrying bout the rest of my family, fuck
Ay
I don’t like saying goodbye
Man, I don’t like tell no lie
I don’t want be no regular guy
Boy, don't you know you're in the real life?
Damn, 25, 25, 25
Don’t invite me to your wedding, I just might have some objections
She got a good dude, but we work too damn well to forget it (It's true)
I think I need a little bit of time to see through my own deceptions (Maybe a lot)
Contrary to what you might think, I don’t wanna be possessive
I say too much on these songs (You know it)
Guess that’s the price of admission (Price of admission)
Lot of friends leaving the city (Leaving the city)
It’s their time but we’ll miss you (We'll miss you)
We all got different goals (Golazo)
He wants a dog and a car (Vroom, vroom)
And some nature on the weekend, in another life, I’d have it all
I met an ABG, wanting Forbes list, 30 under 30 (Good luck)
Went back to the dude who gaslit her, maybe go work on your personal firstly
(Just maybe)
I broke a long-term thing, got a text from old fling (Brr)
She kissed me then left me in the street, what do you really want from me
(What do you want?)
She said she doesn’t know, but now she’s back on my mind (You back?)
And then she’s back to LA, I’m fucking wasting my time
I gotta cut out the nights where I’m just looking to make a mistake (Make a mistake)
Answers leading to more questions 'cause I just had to get a taste (Taste)
There’s people I could fuck, but they aren’t people I’d marry
I’ll meet the right girl, she’ll tell me her sign doesn’t work with Aquarius
Big stage all 2019, what are you gonna say?
I’ll put this shit out 2020, I let you be the gauge
Ay
I don’t like saying goodbye
Man, I don’t like tell no lie
I don’t want be no regular guy
Boy, don't you know you're in the real life?
Damn, 25, 25, 25
Only time I feel at home is Canal and Mulberry
And my mama's house (Mama)
‘Member when money’s the only thing I called about (Caller)
Now I bring bouquets, 'cause our issues resolved now (Holla)
Canal Street gone Soho, 万岁街到欧洲 (Yeah, yeah)
Been a crazy life this go-through (Yeah)
Yeah, Sab and I are trying to stay in touch again (Again)
She said “I’m over what we had, I really miss my friend” (Damn)
Goddamn, that’s better than anything I could pen
But girl, I feel too guilty to show up there at your ends
Cultures clash, families past, just an American story
Sometimes I wish it wasn’t, fuck it wouldn’t that shit be boring
Tricoastal, tryhard, 踹我历史在心里
25, Inshallah, pray that we find the meaning
Yeah
I don’t like saying goodbye
Man, I don’t like tell no lie
I don’t want be no regular guy
Sometimes I don’t like me or I
I, 25, 25, 25
Ay, let me try to be a better presence in your life
Nah, nah, nah, oh
Ooh, oh
25, 25
