HOSTAGE // HALF DEAD Lyrics

Locked away, never safe

Left to feel so hopeless

Same mistakes have been made

Wish I could change the moment

'Cause maybe then, this would end

And I'd have room to grow

But now I surely know

This place is not my home

You've gone too far you see

Dragging me down so you can feel complete

(Why can't this be over)

I never wanted this

From the outside looking in

Things appear on the up and up

But that's when fear starts to sink in

Still bleeding but I keep the blinds shut

What more can I do?

Stripped me of everything

What the fuck do I have to prove?

Just let me fade away right into nothing

Done with your lies and abuse

Don't say you ever loved me

Born into hate, can't leave this place

Even if I tried to escape

The shadows they still follow

I wanna take away this pain

You've caused me but it seems

It's found it's place in my mind

Born into hate, can't leave this place

Even if I tried to escape

The shadows they still follow me

What you see is not what you believe

Only thing you bring is negativity

What you see is not what you believe

I can feel myself slipping away

From the outside looking in

Things appear on the up and up

But that's when fear starts to sink in

Still bleeding but I keep the blinds shut

You can think what you want about me

(About me)

If we're being honest you hardly ever knew me at all

(Knew me at all)

It's not my fault you never knew my perspective

(perspective)

And if you did you'd see that you're

The fucking cancer

My heart is pounding quick

But my words are moving faster

Middle fingers flick from my hand to your face sir

Damn that feels fucking good

Who's the bitch now?

Motherfucker that would be you

Unlike your fists my words won't leave you

Black and blue

Bitch

The last wish that I made

Was for a little hope

The man that stands before you

Is no longer a joke

Shove your apologies right on down your throat

I hope you fucking choke
