Cat Call 03:49
Why do you run from the dreams you enjoy when you sleep Those shameless breakers of promises you keep You feel disarmed when under my charm Control your panic don’t be alarmed when I creep Through the heart you leave helpless for me Believe your feelings baby It’s too late to play nice A thousand cuts reveal your every secret And feed them to the night Cats will call, dig in their claws and dull the sharpest wit Until you’re powerless to it In memories of yesterday you need never be ashamed when you Feel your body scream my name it’s just a dream baby You can’t escape your sexuality So take a night off from your reality When your subconscious asks to prowl Allow the instinct you’ve been endowed set you free And through darkness for once you will see Tonight I’m with you baby It’s too late to think twice When every thought betrays your inhibition No one will sympathize Cats will call, dig in their claws and dull the sharpest wit Until you’re powerless to it In memories of yesterday you need never be ashamed when you Feel your body scream my name it’s just a dream baby Ooooh tell me How do you intend to see this end When you’re falling deeper and deeper again I know you see the writing on the wall And better or for worse recall the way I used to call you baby Cats will call, dig in their claws and dull the sharpest wit Until you’re powerless to it In memories of yesterday you need never be ashamed when you Feel your body scream my name it’s just a dream baby Night will fall and soon you’re lost in metamorphosis That has you begging for my kiss In memories of yesterday we’re city cats astray so Feel your body scream my name as all your dreams fall prey

Keep Away 04:28
It's a prisoners dilemma and here in my cell This attraction we've been dealt A vicious enigma where heaven and hell Confuse themselves so well Now this guilty pleasure has taken its toll Still my conscience is not sold On your weak endeavor to sever its hold Half the story goes untold It's not that you're right, it's not that I'm wrong It's just that you got me hanging on To words left unsaid cause I know in your head That you struggle to keep them off of your tongue So do what you must to try to let go But distrust the strength you show Don't ever misjudge the length I will go Once this compulsion has taken control You will say run away, but I just can't do that no way I miss you too much to leave you alone This affliction's here to stay So keep away It's not that you'd never surrender yourself Comfort has you uncompelled To face this together and bid your farewell To confusion that you've felt It's not that youre right, it's not that Im wrong It's just that you got me hanging on To what we'd become if you were to succumb To the words you hide on the tip of your tongue So do what you must to try to let go But distrust the strength you show Don't ever misjudge the length I will go Once this compulsion has taken control You will say run away, but I just can't do that no way I miss you too much to leave you alone When life falls behind you And words build up inside you One slip is all it takes and I will find you Until then try to Let go, let go Let go but beware the strength you show Don't ever misjudge the length I will go Once this compulsion has taken control You will say run away, but I just can't do that no way I miss you too much to leave you alone My conviction will not sway So keep away

It's complicated, the way you got me hooked The way your kiss invaded me, the way you got me so Intoxicated, inebriated by The taste that lingers in my mouth I never should have known I'm captivated, this bug will be not be shook Not easily placated by the times we had before Love it or hate it, I'm driven crazy with An itch you aggravated now insatiable I'm back for more Here I go again, too drunk to drive But dumb enough to try it every time Your honor here's my plea Go on convict me I'm under the influence you cast on me Ooooh, I'm guilty I'm a junkie for every pleasure you inflict on me So sentence me I don't want your mercy Your touch relieves my pain I can't refrain Got me time and again askin' why Can't you see how high we soar when you give me More (If you ain’t wit it then quit it Cause this ain’t livin’ but Here you go Tellin’ me go) I'm elevated, you got me so damn high No matter that I'm blinded I'll still end up at your door Emaciated, with cursed hunger I endure The pang exacerbated by its cure Here I go again, too drunk to drive But dumb enough to try it every time Your honor here's my plea Go on convict me I'm under an oath to my insanity Ooooh, I'm guilty I'm a junkie for every pleasure you inflict on me So sentence me I don't want your mercy Your touch relieves my pain I can't refrain Got me time and again askin' why Can't you see how high we soar when you give me More (enter Double A) It’s like we at it again Time and time again with the mind trap We either fight or we’re friends on the wrong track Forward then look back to spot no end Cause insane don’t bend (Don’t reason it like that) Now things change & I can accept that But what remains is the Conflict in the way we live If it ain’t for nothing Somethin’s gotta give, again Time and time again We either fight or we’re friends But somethin’s gotta give Somethin’s gotta give It’s like we at it again (repeat)

about

A fusion of the words "tactile" and "dactylic", TACTYLICS is a New York-based funk-rock band dedicated to making music people can feel--combining rich lyrics, melodic hooks, and hard-hitting grooves to produce a powerfully soulful rock sound.

"The Guilty Pleasures Prototype" is the band's debut EP and collectively encapsulates Tactylics' musical style. Conceptually, the mood is dark. Songwriter Ranzo's first three songs share a theme of inner conflict over ill-fated yet addictive relationships. The remix versions showcase the versatility of these songs, as well as Tactylics' cross-genre appeal.
