Adulting 02:24
ADULTING Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: The world's your oyster, that's what they say, The sky's the limit, you'll go far Just put your mind to it and you can do it You want it to happen? Just wish on a star. I don't buy that, it's all rubbish, Frankly it's insulting All those champagne wishes, and caviar dreams don't exist when you're adulting. Verse 2: Doctor appointments, errands to run, I thought growing older meant I'd have fun, My back is aching, and my grocery list is long Can somebody tell me? Where did it all go wrong? Meditation, yoga, homeopathy Reiki ain’t all it's cracked up to be. I’m sick and tired of all the consulting, there just isn’t a cure for adulting Bridge: And the worst part of being an adult? (the worst, it's the worst part) There's no one to blame when it's all your fault. (it's all, it's all your fault) The bills pile up. The pain rolls in Will my dreams ever see the light of day again? Verse 3: Dating ain’t easy but we all got needs If practice makes perfect what’s wrong with me? My husband divorced me, my fiancée’s gay. One boyfriend just decided to move away. Now I don’t need a man to make me smile I’m an independent woman and I got style Verse 4: The world’s my oyster, that’s what I say The sky’s the limit, I’m gonna go far I put my mind to it and I can do it I wished on a star and the results are in Yep! They still suck at adulting. © 2021 Nakia Reynoso KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R. Pangborn (BMI)

Daddy Issues 02:04
DADDY ISSUES Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: With a snap of his fingers, I'm here to serve Whatever he needs, be it a shirt or hors d'oeuvres I may be a baby, but that don't mean squat I'll get what he asks for, just give me a shot. Verse 2: What do you think, Sir, of this bright green shirt? What about instead of "sir," "daddy?" Now that can't quite hurt. Would you like to tell me what you need? I am here for you, Whether it's cleaning or cooking, I'll do what I’m told to do. Chorus 1: You could say I've got Daddy Issues And, yes, that's the understatement of the year But growing up just means you get older. A baby needs a father to give him purpose, is that much clear? Verse 3: Try on these undies, they'll do the trick. They'll make your man hunger for your little pri--- ---cisely what you want, I can make happen, Be you hungry or horny, just sit back and strap in- Verse 4: My role is obvious, let's make one thing clear I want you to be happy, serving you's my career Daddy's need babies who do what they're told So ask of me anything daddy, no request is too bold. Chorus 2: You could say I've got Daddy Issues, And yes, that's the understatement of the year, But there's just no other way to say it When my Daddy's happy, that's all the thanks I want to hear. Yes! You could say that I’ve got daddy issues! © 2021 KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R. Pangborn (BMI)

Hate Sex 01:54
HATE SEX Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: Oh? You're a man's man? Got a real can can Sort of attitude You do what you want With that big body you flaunt Seeing you pissed off puts me in the mood. Chorus 1: Wow you're angry, you're so vexed Look at all that muscle and flab, all super-flexed You want to hurt me, well I say "yay" Hate sex is the best sex… that’s what they say Verse 3: Don't look at me, Those eyes drive me crazy, I'd do just about anything for you. Let me make it clear You ain’t gotta buy me a beer We ain’t gotta be friends to have a hateful rendezvous Chorus 2: Yes you're angry, you’re mad as hell You wanna shut me up big boy, ring my bell Put me on all fours, make me pay Hate sex is the best sex… that’s what they say Chorus 3: Oh you're angry, so irate Teach me a lesson daddy, let me feel your weight Knock me to my knees, make me pay — Hate sex is the best sex… that’s what they say © 2021 KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R.

YOU AND ME EQUAL WE Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: Calm down everything will be just fine (Spoken) I can’t believe it took my this long to figure it out. I’m in Doctor Mestor’s machine. Again. (Sings) Correction, though, this machine is mine--- (Spoken) Simon, just listen to me-- By which I mean The me that's flesh, Not the me you see in this cyber mesh-- Chorus 1: Surely it's obvious, surely you see? The math is right there-- He and me equal we. Verse 2: I was always very good at school, The smartest in my class by far. No fingers in my cookie jar But with you I always play the fool Because I know exactly what we are My dream come true, my shooting star Chorus 2: Surely you see it right? This isn’t just me! The math is right there: you and me equal we. Bridge: You can add it all up, you can see the sum, We are one, you are mine, i'm under your thumb. Given time you'll see there's no escaping we, Because, at the end of the day, we equals you and me. You and me equal we

ME, MYSELF, AND ALONE Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: I had dreams and ambitions. Fantasies of fame. In the end I gave it all up for family and a new name. Living your life for others Is a joke, a mistake, a regret After all I'd done for them, they still merely forget. Chorus 1: Now I'm sitting in the silence, Me, myself, and alone-- Surrounded by nothingness All my faded dreams and fantasies left unknown. Verse 2: I thought I had a second chance Eternity with you But freed of all the burdens from my past there’s still nothing different or new I'm begging someone to listen-- I'm crying out for help, can't you hear? Jesus! I can’t even cry my own tears Chorus 2: Now I'm sitting in the silence, Me, myself, and alone-- Hoping you'll reach out and touch me But you can’t feel me without my flesh and bones I'm calling out to you from the silence, Please, if you hear me let me know Give me a sign or some sort of signal That this isn’t just a one woman show If you don’t need me where do I go? Is anybody out there? Hello? © 2021 KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R. Pangborn (BMI)

A TOUCH OF POISON Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: You call me poison as if I should be ashamed? Think again, my friend, 'cause poison is my middle name. Chorus 1: You crave a touch of poison. Your mind resists but your body betrays You crave a touch of poison. How ‘bout a kiss to set the stage Verse 2: It's not forever, I don't want to be tied down. But say the word, I'll tie you up, and we can go to town. Chorus 2: You crave a touch of poison. It's crystal clear you want to misbehave You crave a touch of poison. That’s why you’re here, welcome to my cave Verse 3: I’ll say it once, I'll say it twice, so listen to my advice: A touch of poison will do the trick. Have a taste it will be over quick I’ve chosen you, and I have my pick So, open up now and take this Don’t try to deny me! I am poison! Poison’s my middle name! © 2021 KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R.

THE MAN WITH THE MIDAS TOUCH Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: The man with the Midas touch--that's what they called me. Everything just sort of fell in my lap. (Every*one* too, come to think of it. ) I had the world at my fingers, it just came so easy. Life packaged in gift wrap. Verse 2: The booze, the money, the clothes, the men Oh God, the men, they all just seemed to do as I say-- But time, she takes it all from everyone, you know? She took it all from me, and now the glitters gone away. It was supposed to last forever, right? That's what we’ve had been sold. Fancy wrapped in fool's gold. 
 Verse 3: The Man with the Midas touch but here I sit alone. When once there were days when crowds surrounded me. (Suffocated me a bit if I'm gonna be honest.) Coasted thinking I had it all, 'til the day I sank like a stone. Washed up among the debris. Verse 4: The music, the fame, the drugs, the friends, Oh God, the friends, they all just seemed to want me around- But when you falter, suddenly that ends, when you fall down and nothing’s left, not even a sound The music stopped, the spotlight has gone out Midas is just one of you, a man filled with fear and self doubt Verse 5: The Man with the Midas touch, that's what they called me. Everything just sort of went my way (Till it didn’t) © 2021 KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R. Pangborn (BMI)

CLOWNING AROUND Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: I got something, in my hand, oozing white cream. Oh it's big, oh it’s juicy, oh it's just obscene. I wave it underneath your face, you’re craving just a little taste. Verse 2: I know what you must be thinking, he's naughty, he's so vile, He’s just a geek! He’s a freak! He’s just so juvenile! But you’re in for a surprise, in my hand I’m holding just a pie. Pre Chorus 1: Sure the words I'm saying may seem to confound But it's not sex I’m talking about I'm... Just clowning around! Clowning around! Chorus 1: I'm a comedian at heart And the smile I’ll leave upon your face can light up the dark I'm a laugh machine, I’ll leave you tickled pink-- Let’s clown around if that's your kink. We can clown around it that’s your kink. Verse 3: The snap of latex rubber thrills me, the bending and the squeeze There’s no request too big or small because I aim to please I can make it grow on demand, tug and twist with my hands. Verse 4: I wrap my fingers around it's cylindrical shaft The squeaks and squeals are all the proof I'm excelling at my craft But it’s not what you presume, I’m making animals out of balloons. Pre Chorus 2: Sure the words I'm saying may seem to confound But it's not sex I’m talking about I'm... Just clowning around! Clowning around! Chorus 2: I'm a comedian at heart And the smile I’ll leave upon your face can light up the dark I'm a laugh machine, I’ll leave you tickled pink So won’t ya give me a chance to do my thing Yeah I’m funny guy, let me cure your blues With my big red nose and my squeaky shoes Thank you, good night, I’ll be here all week! Let’s clown around if that's your kink. We can clown around it that’s your kink. © 2021 KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R. Pangborn (BMI)

THE ABC’s OF KINK Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: Armpits, anal, abduction seduction - auto-fellatio - how far can you bend? Age play and adult babies - Are both kinks I can fully recommend. 
 (Spoken) Then there's bondage and branding and chastity 
 (Spoken) Or cock & ball torture? 
 (Shouting) D-d-d-d 
 Dominance, dildos, or my favorite - diapers Exhibitionism, e-stim and edge... ing Feeding, foot play and forniphilia? Honestly, did you know people get off on being turned into furniture? 
 (Spoken) Actually, I did date a futon once Chorus 1: We all have something deep inside us A primal urge to be out of sync These are the ABCs of Kink Verse 2: (Spoken) Well, what about fisting? 
 Oh Honey, don't jump in the deep end just yet-- For 'F' words, let’s start with the basics And for Hunter - the fatter? The better. You see, he likes feeding other people’s faces 
 (Spoken) But don’t forget frottage or furries 
 (Spoken) Or g agging! 
 Ah ha! Now that's a great word for the letter 'G' So let's skip right to humiliation That's what excites our dearest Anthony He gets off on verbal mocking and sissification. 
 THE ABC’s OF KINK Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso (Spoken as a rough daddy) Yeah, you like being a little sissy bitch don’t ya? 
 (Spoken unknowingly submitting) Hmmmm-hmmmm, yes daddy Chorus 2: You can call yourself a chubby chaser Even if you’re not a twink These are the ABCs of Kink Verse 3: Paddles and canes are for impact play, For the artiste, try Japanese bondage If you love a good enema, Klismaphilia’s your bag baby Limits are what you won't do and should be respected by all parties 
 (Spoken) Yeah! Submissive doesn't always mean slave. I mean it can, but only with consent. 
 M-m-masters mummify, and masochists like needles Brats crave over the knee Orgasm control, orgies, and pup play Some folks love wearing PVC 
 How ‘bout rough sex with scratching and biting? Rawr! Next is role play, sounding and scat Does Carla turn you on? Are you into spectrophilia? Maybe tentacle porn and trampling is where it’s at? Chorus 3: This list is merely a guideline There's so much more than you think These are the ABCs of Kink Verse 4: Uniforms are hot - be a cop or a priest Feel your fantasy how you choose So you like to watch? That makes you a voyeur Watersports fans flag yellow when they cruise 
 Wax play and wrestling, yiffing and yaoi Let your freak flag fly for all to see There’s a fetish for everything So you like wearing lycra and getting fucked in a sling (Spoken) Ooh ooh I know that one - Zentai? (Spoken) Yes! Chorus 4: Some people may never understand it Others give you a nod and a wink If you’ve grown tired of the taste of vanilla You’re craving something adventurous to drink Remember these words that I say to you because These are the ABCs of Kink

Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: Live today, live to slay, Tomorrow's just another way To bring the world to my heels You see this crown it’s time to kneel Chorus 1: Cuz I’m the queen of snow, yeah, I’m the Queen of ice Take a chance, come on and roll the dice I'm the queen of fire and the queen of flame, I’m always gonna win the game Bridge: I hid away for far too long Now I'm coming out through dance and song Enjoy me, one and all Stand up, let's have a ball Chorus 2: I'm the queen of love, oh I’m the queen of lust So, I’m a lot, you'll need time to adjust I'm the queen that’s all you need to know I reign above you worship below Chorus 3: Cuz I’m the queen of snow, yeah, I’m the Queen of ice Take a chance, come on and roll the dice I'm the queen of fire and the queen of flame, If you don’t me now, you’ll soon know my name © 2021 KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R.

THE DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: You may find life is unkind, You may seek to save the world around you. Don't be blind, you soon will find, Every failure leads to de ja vu-- Chorus 1: The Devil's in the details, The baddy's between the lines, You might think you’ll save the day, But I wrote the fine print, friend, and there ain’t no way. Verse 2: Holding out hope is a slippery slope and frankly kind of pointless if you ask me Check your horoscope it’s a world of nope I’m in control of your destiny Chorus 2: The Devil's in the details, The baddy's between the lines, So double double, toil and trouble, let the fire burn & the cauldron bubble 
 Chorus 3: Oh, the Devil's in the details, And yes, that Devil is me You think you’re winning this time, how droll But I fixed the fight There’s no hope in sight The deal is airtight and I own your soul! © 2021 KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R. Pangborn (BMI)

THE BALLAD OF HEATHCLIFF AND HUNTER Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: In the days of old, Well, not that old, maybe just, oh, fifteen years, There was a Master, strong and bold, Who had a slave, not a real-life slave, but a volunteer. (Spoken to camera) - I know, I know - stick with me. Verse 2: The slave served him well Made his Master happy in the bedroom, but it wasn't enough, So he took a chance Told his Master that he wanted more than part-time kinky stuff Chorus 1: Heathcliff and Hunter You won't find two more perfect lovers They met online with a dial up connection And it only ended because of overstimulation Bridge: You expect me to do more? (Spoken) You heard me, Master! I want to take us further than before. Never, no, that's my answer, further only leads to disaster 
 Verse 2: Heathcliff disobeyed He found himself a Master who would take things to extreme. Hunter grew afraid, While the slave he loved was gagged and bound so he couldn't scream. (Spoken to camera) - I’m not kink shaming but this story is strange! The slave finally came home, Hunter found him broken and battered beyond belief Slave was diagnosed with a syndrome So he kept his distance much to Hunter’s grief Chorus 3: Heathcliff and Hunter You won't find two more perfect lovers Our relationship should never have ended But what we had was not what we intended. 
 Chorus 4: Now they weren't lovers, He went his way, and Hunter went Hunter's But he still supported his former slave Heathcliff is a love Hunter will take to his grave. © 2021 KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R. Pangborn (BMI)

WHEN LOVE’S NOT ENOUGH Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: A kiss seals the deal. Or it's supposed to, isn't it? When two people fall in love, their story goes on and on. Right? That's all well and good, but then why does it sometimes feel so rushed? Can somebody tell me what happens when love's not enough? Chorus 1: Sometimes you plan. Sometimes you dream. Sometimes Lady Luck smiles upon you, it seems. But then you open your eyes, and reality is so rough. Can somebody tell me what happens when love's not enough? 
 Verse 2: Sometimes you scheme, sweat, hope, and pray just to get by. Sometimes you do nothing and life seems to go your way. I wish. But then you get shot down again, and reality is tough. Can somebody tell me what happens when love's not enough? Chorus 2: The book is over, the tale is told So why are you and he spending years growing old? The truth is your stars are crossed, and the promises were all fluff. Can somebody tell me what happens when love's not enough? Please somebody tell me what happens when love's not enough? Not enough? Am I enough? © 2021 KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R. Pangborn (BMI)

What A Waste 03:39
WHAT A WASTE Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: You make these plans for tomorrow, Each passing day you strive to see them come true. But each passing day comes and goes with nothing to show, And then those plans are lost in the rear view. Chorus 1: Well, what a waste, What an absolutely perfectly disappointing waste of time Your life means nothing, in the end What are you worth? Barely a dime. 
 Verse 2: There was a time you were on top, A Lord among the common folk who fawned over you. But then comes the day your hits turn to flops Your star has burned out before you you ever knew Chorus 2: Well, what a waste What an absolutely perfectly disappointing waste of time Your life means nothing, in the end What are you worth? Barely a dime. Verse 3: You think there's hope for a second chance You hold you breath and wish that the phone will ring again But no one's calling to take you out to the dance And all that's left of the fallen star is a man among men. Chorus 3: Oh what a waste! What an absolutely perfectly disappointing waste of time Somehow you can't find meaning And there's no one intervening Chorus 4: Oh what a waste! What an absolutely, perfectly disappointing waste of time. Will any of this matter? Will I matter? Will I matter? Will any of this matter at the end of it all? Probably not, I think not, because, all dreams they have to fall. © 2021 KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R. Pangborn (BMI)

The Moon 02:53
THE MOON Written by Joshua R. Pangborn & Nakia Reynoso Verse 1: Just look at that, you're shining bright Brightest star in all the night. The world is yours, it's plain to see-- But that's all closed off to me.... There's no shortage of dreams, It's the talent that's rare You may work 'til you scream There's no point if it's not there... Chorus 1: My heavenly body is the moon, Reflecting stars, that's my tune. Can't sing on pitch or act on screen, Forever seeing, never seen. 
 Verse 2: I want that light, that light in you, But for me that can’t be true, You are the sun, celestial sparks And the moon is always dark But for all it does and helps us do, It's greatest secret is out of view, The moon wants to shine ablaze on its own And be the brightest star ever known. Chorus 2: My heavenly body is the moon, Reflecting stars, that's my tune. Can't sing on pitch or act on screen, Forever seeing, never seen. Bridge: Never seen The man in the moon, forever alone--- Never seen Looking at the world from his lonely throne-- Never seen Dreamer in disguise with a heart of stone-- Never seen Feels like nothing is all he's ever known-- © 2021 KiaChia Songs (BMI), Joshua R. Pangborn (BMI)
