Hostage Lyrics

The people here are crazy

They're trying to bring me down

But I can't let them faze me

I will not leave this town



They're trying to get in here

But they don't have a key

The windows and the walls here

Are big enough and thick enough

To keep them from me

Come inside and set you free



Taking you hostage

Was easy in my dreams

But now that you've lost it

It's harder than it seems

Take me away



The night before the morning after

Is always darker than it seems

You recognize the patterns

But you don't know what they mean



And if I had a handle on you

I'd carry you from here

And if I had a handle I would

Turn back the gears

Give myself another year



Taking you hostage

Was easy in my dreams

But now that you've lost it

It's harder than it seems

Take me away



I'm going to make you pay

For what you took away

You kicked away the chair

You broke me on a dare

And it's not fair, but no one cares



Tell me I'm the only one

Tell me you're still having fun

And tell me that the world is going to end

With not a whimper but a crash and burn
