Hell For Leather

About This Song: This song's early completion is utterly, unashamedly inspired by my first listen to Green Day's Lazy Bones. Keep that style in mind when you read (I've added the song to the end of this to listen if you wish). Unrelatedly, this song is about when reckless fun trips into obsession, as a young couple struggles to cope with mutual addiction. Enjoy!

Hell for Leather

Let's trip into amber ecstasy,
Poison hearts with liquid vanity,
We're young enough to misbehave,
And bottled sins are what we crave

Actions blind to sober thoughts,
Become figments of a night forgot,
"Oh, one more shot before it's light?"
Apologising doesn't make it right

[Chorus]
Chase me, away from life,
Take me, just for tonight,
Waste me, like wasted time,
Placed me, into this lie

If only time meant more than this,
We toss and turn right after bliss,
With nightmares puncturing our sleep,
Of promises we failed to keep

We try in vain with bloodshot eyes,
To make a point out of this fight,
"I need one more before I sleep",
I swear I'll leave but I'm too weak

[Chorus]
Chase me, away from life,
Take me, just for tonight,
Waste me, like wasted time,
Placed me, into this lie

[Bridge]
Oh, once again I'm on my knees, and I'm prayin' for a way,
To make it through the night, and to battle through the day,
Oh babe, I'm begging please, don't just give yourself away,
I need your trust; apart we're fucked, to fill the empty space

[Chorus]
Chase me, away from life,
Take me, just for tonight,
Waste me, like wasted time,
Placed me, into this lie

Chase me, out of this fight,
Take me, into the night,
Waste me, for one last time
Break me, out of this lie
