Hostage

Sinking down this empty road,

Lost in thought, Time was slowed

A bottle’s whisper calls my name,

And there’s no one else to blame

Days are long, the nights are cruel,

Tangled thoughts, I’m such a fool.

Tomorrow was certain, now left unclear

You were my light; now, I disappear.

I see your smile in strangers' eyes,

Each heartbeat tells a last goodbye.

Trying to find a way to breathe,

Just Wishing I could stay asleep

Pour another drink, let it drown the sorrow,

Searching for peace in a bottle, no tomorrow.

Lost in the days, I’m hearing endless screams,

Can’t find the strength to escape these dreams.

These empty nights, they pull me under,

Clouded mind filled with thunder.

Enduring Endless days filled with rain

Unable to escape this pain

I see your smile in strangers' eyes,

Each heartbeat tells a last goodbye.

Trying to find a way to breathe,

Just Wishing I could stay asleep

Pour another drink, let it drown the sorrow,

Searching for peace in a bottle, no tomorrow.

Lost in the days, I’m hearing endless screams,

Can’t find the strength to escape these dreams.

I need a way to numb the pain,

But every high just feels the same.

Chasing shadows in an endless race,

Every day feels like such a waste.

I see your smile in strangers' eyes,

Each heartbeat tells a last goodbye.

Trying to find a way to breathe,

Just Wishing I could stay asleep

So here I’m held, a hostage to your heart,

A broken man, sitting in the dark.

Each day is a battle, can’t you see?

Without you, love, I'm not really me.
