Think Bonnie & Clyde, but told in whispers and gunfire, kisses and heartbreak. It’s a love story that burns fast, lives dangerously, and fades into the city lights.

When you listen, ask yourself:

Have you ever loved someone so deeply it felt risky?

Do you believe in passion even if it comes with scars?

Title: Thorn

Gone are the days we cried,
Gone are the nights we’d hide,
Rolling streets, Bonnie by Clyde,
Dangerous, but so alive.
I loved you like a king,
You moved me like a queen,
Two hearts, a broken machine,
Love on the run ain't so clean.

Every little kiss, a spark in the mist,
Dodging snipers' shots, taking risks,
Infatuation, we couldn’t resist,
Riding through life, twisted and blissed.

Now we're ghosts in city lights,
Fading out like stolen nights,
Our tale etched in outlaw sights,
We always knew we'd pay the price.

Now you've poisoned the pond,
Your memories, long gone,
Rolling with the Tonton,
Got me cuttin' in London.
Fire's burning out of control,
Clinging tight to that bottle,
Totally lost, feeling hollow,
Rattled by the battles.

Now I'm staring into the tides,
Where will we land this time?
Baby, I’ll ride or die,
Thorn in my side, gun on my thigh.

Every little kiss, a spark in the mist,
Dodging snipers' shots, taking risks,
Infatuation, we couldn’t resist,
Riding through life, twisted and blissed.

Now we're ghosts in city lights,
Fading out like stolen nights,
Our tale etched in outlaw sights,
We always knew we'd pay the price.

Torn, torn, torn, torn...
Running with the night till dawn,
Torn, torn, torn, torn...
Baby, now we’re gone, gone, gone…
