Anthem To A Bad Boy

Be Mine

At last

LYRICS
Her words sounded like “welcome home”
Like sun after the rain
Like your sad sad solitude
Leaving on a train

Her laughter sounded like you'd entered hell
She cast her spell and took a gun
You shot each other just for fun
Her mouth was like the holy grail

Then she left you battle scarred
With blood on your knees
Like a believer who committed a sin
And prays to a god
That never was so
So full of hate
Because he's still hanging from a cross

She feels like cocaine to your brain
She kills the pain with her kiss
Then takes your bliss
And pours it down the drain

She ain't no saint 
She's a candy to your 6 year-old self
A shot of rhum to your darkest day
That book on your shelf that you read
Over and over again

You bit her neck like a vampire
She bit your soul like a ghost
You lost control like a fire
But she was never yours

Then she left you battle scarred
With blood on your knees
Like a believer who committed a sin
And prays to a god
That never was so
So full of hate
Because he's still hanging from a cross

She feels like cocaine to your brain
She kills the pain with her kiss
Then takes your bliss
And pours it down the drain

She ain't no saint 
She stole a candy to your 6 year-old self
That shot of rhum made you sick today
And your favorite book will never move from the shelf

Her infinite arms around you
Made you whole for a while
Your infinite eyes looking to her
Made her fall for a while
Her infinite arms around you
Made you whole for a while
Your infinite eyes looking to her
But you didn't realize...

That you felt like cocaine to her brain
You killed her pain with a kiss
Then took her bliss
And poured it down the drain
you ain’t no saint
You’re her ghost unchained
You took her bliss
You’re in her veins

She's your ghost unchained
No, she ain't no saint
She took your bliss
She's in your veins

Ghost unchained

Here you come and take my throne
You never seem to feel alone
You never seem to think you’re wrong
You look so happy on your own

Here I go, broke inside
I try to change but I just hide
I try to set aside my pride
But I stoop lower every time

But you don’t mind
And I know I’m right
And I know it’s useless to begin a fight

And you don’t cry
Well I do sometimes
I can’t even find the words to say goodbye

Let me go, it’s been too long
it burns too hot, it hurts too deep, 
I’ve had enough
I won’t keep begging at your feet 

I can’t take it one more time
You’re like fire to my pain
And I grow weaker everyday
My love, I don’t want you to stay

But you come around, kiss my lips
You like them red,  I like you sweet
And when I miss you I dream on
Or put your baggy t-shirt on

But you’re always far when I’m at war
Back then  you used to be my shore
Now there’s a tempest at my home
And I can’t even close the door

But I don’t mind
Cause there’s no way back
And I know it’s useless to regret at night

You won’t see me cry
Though I do sometimes
I can’t even find the strengh to say goodbye

Let me go, it’s been too long
it burns too hot, it hurts too deep, 
I’ve had enough
I won’t keep begging at your feet 

I can’t take it one more time
You’re like fire to my pain
And I grow weaker everyday
My love, I don’t want you to stay


My love, I don't want you to stay

He made his way back to Costa Rica
To find the girl he had once seen with tanned skin
The whitest dress and the darkest eyes
An evil look and the purest smile

She found the flawless she had never seen
She fought desire to make up her own dream
His look so deep that made her warm
His smile so sweet but that was not enough to buy his

"Hold me kiss me" he said to her that night
And 'til the morning light they danced to the rhythm of her
"Bite me, kill me", 'cause love; it's just a fight
She left with no goodbye
She left no time to die

After a while she forgot his face
As she was used to seeing boys fade away
And back again to the rhum with lime
And back again to the wasting time

Tied to his mind she was an angel in flames
A devil in love, he made her insane
Trapped into that night though all faith was lost
She kept crying smiles, he was just a ghost repeating

"Hold me kiss me" he said to her that night
And 'til the morning light they danced to the rhythm of her
"Bite me, kill me", 'cause love; it's just a fight
She left with no goodbye
She left no time to die

It was a 17 of July 
And with his hands on her skin
He whispered words that she can't erase
He's back to that place, he's willing to stay and tell her...

"Hold me kiss me" he said to her again
And 'til another life they danced to the rhythm of her
"Love me, thrill me, shall we give it a try?" 
They never said goodbye
They both refused to die

She left no time to die

No looking back
