"Mercenaries"

Verse 1
I didn't mean to stalk you
But it's so easy these days
Typed your name and here you are
Your smile and that arctic gaze
The photographs aren’t many
But they’re plenty enough to see
How you’ve stayed so beautiful
So beautiful to me

Verse 2
At once I sense the things
That I like least about myself
Stirring in the shadows
Hoping I’ll set them free again
Things you never saw and things
I keep locked well away
I should have seen you coming
As you gently played your game

Chorus
Still you kept your beauty
Still so beautiful to me
One day despite your beauty
You’ll have to set me free
One day despite your beauty
You’ll have to set me free

Verse 3
I recall your glorious chest
Pressed hard against my own
Our tangled limbs in the swimming pool
That night at your brother’s home
It never could have led to more
The story of my life
Etched you like a dull tattoo
In the no-man’s land of my mind

Verse 4
I see you’ve found yourself another
Round of Bohemian friends
Do they give you a place to belong
Or somewhere it matters less?
Now and then the brothers from
The Legion seek my help
In their bitter-sweet silence
I feel the most myself

Chorus
Still you kept your beauty
Still so beautiful to me
One day despite your beauty
You’ll have to set me free
Still you kept your beauty
Still so beautiful to me
One day despite your beauty
You’ll have to set me free
