I lay awake and think of you I can't help I'm missing you I don't know where I am tonight At least I know that you're alive Imperfect visions in my head Somewhere between this night and dead Awake and asleep, real or not I can't control my thoughts Is this too much paradise? Or is it too much to ask for tonight? I can't breathe, I can't breathe I'm trapped inside, I'm missing you I can't sleep, I can't feel I'm trapped inside, I'm missing you
2.
Sinking into thoughts of you At night when I lie all by myself Wishing you were here with me Trying to forget you but I can't It's impossible to make believe You're not here with me I try to break away from you My thoughts, my dreams, my fantasies Are all of you... You kiss me, I feel it But is it real, or is it fantasy? You touch me, I need it I need it... I need it... My mind, flooded with the Very things that hurt me but it Feels so good I can't stop There's no one way to get this Lust for you out of my head But I kind of enjoy it
3.
Trusting somebody is the hardest thing for me I felt I gave myself away so many times I've been betrayed, I've tried To find someone to share my life with But all my attempts were met with indifference Where were you now? When I needed you Where were you now? I can't feel you Where were you now? Never cared about me I've been looking for love In all the wrong faces I've been looking for us In all the wrong places And now it's raining... Looking for love...
4.
Everything, everything comes back to you Everything, everything comes back to you You're everything I never knew You're what I'm wishing I never knew Such a shame, such a shame It's a game to you Such a shame, such a shame It's a game to you You're everything I never knew You're what I'm wishing I never knew Thunder and fire Ain't taking us higher Fired up desire Makes me believe
5.
I wanna run away - I'm ready to fly I need to get away - to a different time Nothing here to stay - it really drives me mad I just wanna be with you - that's all I ask So take me back in time... Like the trail from a shooting star Electricity flowing through my mind You're my near and far... Take me away tonight We're running and rushing And spinning and blushing I can't stop I'm trusting You'll take me somewhere
6.
Knock knock knock on my door I've been waiting 4 this moment 4 so long - a little more This fever's burning me up inside This feeling I cannot hide Teach me something I need 2 know Bang bang bang on the floor It's heaven when we play the game So hard 2 ignore U'll spin me around Lost in space, lost in sound Some place I need 2 B more So tell me something... What are U waiting 4? What are U waiting 4? What are U waiting 4 Keeping me waiting 4 Something this, something that Ooh, I can't wait anymore Spend spend spend all my time Waiting 4 U, but U aren't coming I can't keep waiting like this 4 a drink and a kiss Take it back tonight Hate hate hate hate this more Than anything I ever hated anyone before Time is not on my side And before I know it My time has died... where did it go? I don't have time 2 sit around wait 4 what I deserve U should B with one who Treats U worse Than U treat me, and U will C What U have in me Can't B replaced so easy So U keep me waiting...
7.
Love fast, break the laws I need it, give me more Passing affair in stereo Feels like heaven on the go Drive me manual Automatic - I'm reacting Sound - I'm coming now If you want it give it to me Well, then you, better keep it Total control 2 fast is never enough Look out the window The rain's gone and turned into sun The world is ending tonight Better have some fun

Yeah... I'm here... I'm not going to shy away I'm the reason everything is the way it is today Caused a dilemma, but that's just not me Acted out of despondency Take me and rape me - controversy is what they seek Love me or hate me - controversy is what I need... Woke up this morning feeling a little blue all because of you And how I thought I made it bad - but it didn't go... It didn't go away... I felt this way all day, just a little break Ooh, what can I do? To prove myself to you? And what you said to me - I don't know if I want to... It's still to be defined - the word still has no rhyme I'm tired of drawing the line Everything's a social disease You can't say or do what you please Is it feminism? Or is it abattoir? Is this equality? Or is it just war? Can we fix this over the phone? Or am I Napoleon and this is the throne? Controversy is what they need Controversy is what I feed Controversy is what we breed Controversy... Controversy... Controversy... It's what I need... It's what I breed It's who I am - why they give a damn Sometimes I'm one of the girls And other times, it seems, I'm the stereotypical man Spent all night fighting instead of funking to the beat And I couldn't handle the heat - and I broke down But now it's better! Said some things - but that really isn't me And if you could only see - sometimes we all act stupid Woe is me, I guess... I'm sorry for the fact that sometimes I'm the damsel in distress Instead of understanding you ignored me That sh** hurts, but I'll make it...

Talk that talk - and walk 2 me Come on baby, I'll set U free Talk that talk - and walk 2 me Come on baby, I'll set U free Don't make it hard 4 me 2 understand U I want 2 read your mind Give U what U need tonight I'll B your baby Your only baby If U can promise me: I'll B the 1 2 set U free (Just come by my place around 10:30...) 'Cause I wanna B the one that makes U cry alright I wanna B the one that's in control If U give me everything and set it up just right I'm gonna set U free tonight... My love is innocent Unless I'm talking 'bout U 'Cause I can't keep my thoughts straight When You’re the only thing I want 2 do I can B your baby Your only baby Just come and say 2 me: I want U 2 set me free (And I'll give U what U are waiting 4...) Entre les feuilles? Nous pouvons le faire... la danse Vous et moi... Ça vous plaît? Aimez-vous? Voulez vous? Voulez...?

Mr. Nationalism You think everything's a problem The solution is for you to do it your way And you won't listen to a single word I say... I have a few little questions: Why can't I make my own decisions? Wrong or right, I hold my own opinion Instead of living under your dominion I've got something to say I'll say it right now I don't want you shutting me up I do whatever I want I do whatever I want! No way you'll ever stop me Nothing you can say affects me 'Cause opinions are worthless I know I'm better than it * Dr., I've been too patient I'm sick and tired of waiting Tonight, I need to get a lil' reckless And I don't know if you can handle it Dr., I've been too patient Sitting 'round while my heartbeat's racing Conforming to society Unfortunately, is not the right pill for me Mr. Sociology Can you answer this for me? If I sometimes side with the majority And I'm a moderate, tell me what's wrong with me? I'm not hindering your rights It's not that nothing you say is right But when I happen to disagree (usually it's trivial) Then all of a sudden, you start blaming me... I don't wanna be like everybody else I want to learn to think for myself But when I do no one advocates Instead, they take it as some form of hate...

about

I had picked up the idea of doing a dance album again early in 2017, and had written a bunch of songs such as "Narcissus" and "Adrenaline," however like the first attempt, I was battling against changing tastes in pop and dance. I wanted my next album to make more of a statement than a pop album due to the political circumstances we lived in America, so I decided to put out my second remix album - a collection of extended club mixes of previous and new singles. Somehow, this collection became one of my most downloaded, which surprises me, since I didn't expect pop fans to sit through club-length tracks.
