MINIMAL SYNTH

Baba Pen & The Bim Bam Band - The Ritual

Verse 1]
Flashlights on my leather jacket, I walk in slow, the room turns static
Every eye just starts to follow, like I’m the sin they wanna borrow
Smiles in gold and lips of danger, strangers whisper, I’m no stranger
Promises I never keep, hearts I steal then leave to weep

I know the game, I wrote the rules
Got girls who treat me like I’m jewels
But when the lights fade out to blue
I got nobody texting, “You?”


---

[Chorus]
I’m that playboy, baby, breaking hearts for fun
Dancing in the fire, but I still feel numb
All these pretty faces, but I can’t find one
Who’ll love the man behind the smoke and rum
Yeah, they want the fame, they want the thrill
But they don’t see the scars that never heal
Oh, I’m the bad boy they all choose
Still crying to my own playboy blues


---

[Verse 2]
Gucci shades hide the truth I’m missing
Perfume ghosts from lips I’m kissing
She says she loves my mystery,
But baby, even I can’t read me

VIP and lonely bottles,
Fake love models, broken mottos
Every night I lose a piece,
Every morning—same old peace

I told her “Don’t get too attached,”
But she still did, and now I crash
Every “good girl” turns to pain,
And I’m the thunder after rain


---

[Chorus]
I’m that playboy, baby, breaking hearts for fun
Dancing in the fire, but I still feel numb
All these pretty faces, but I can’t find one
Who’ll love the man behind the smoke and rum
Yeah, they want the fame, they want the thrill
But they don’t see the scars that never heal
Oh, I’m the bad boy they all choose
Still crying to my own playboy blues


---

[Bridge]
Midnight hits and I’m alone again
My phone lights up, but it’s just pretend
Every “Hey you up?” feels hollow,
I smile today, regret tomorrow

Mirror, mirror, tell me true,
Why do hearts look best when new?
I could have love, but I choose pain,
And lose again, and lose again...


---

[Verse 3]
She said, “You’re cold, but I’ll make you feel,”
Guess I forgot that hearts can heal
But I ran off before she knew,
That I was broken, through and through

Now her name still haunts my room,
In the dark, I hum her tune
Guess the king of hearts still bleeds,
Behind the fame, behind the greed


---

[Final Chorus]
I’m that playboy, baby, breaking hearts for fun
Living fast but coming undone
All these diamonds can’t outshine the sun
When the morning shows what I’ve become
Yeah, they want the thrill, they want the chase
But no one stays to see my face
Oh, I’m the bad boy they all choose
Forever singing my playboy blues


---

[Outro]
Oh, yeah...
All the girls, all the games, all the lies I use...
Still alone with my playboy blues...
Playboy, playboy... just a lonely muse.
