Idle Tongues - Hostage Lyrics

Run away, spread the news, to your preacher
This fire, it can't be saved
I was a moth to a flame, blinded by the light
This glitter ain't gold, but it's all the same
Take back the heartache
Can't you spare this fate I desired, existence expired
Stories so old, you think you're so original
But I've heard it all before
I, can't see the light
No I, can't keep my fight
Feels like I'm better off dead, but you won't lay me down to rest
I, can't see the light
No I, can't keep my fight
Feels like I'm better off dead, but you won't lay me down to rest
Bury me six foot under!
I'm a prisoner, to your twisted desires
Weighed down by the ball and chain
Knock me down, never lift me up but ya'
Still shine like a supernova - heart attack, bring back
The pain, so infectious
Too afraid of being alone
Stories so old, you thought you were original
But I've heard it all before
I, can't see the light
No I, can't keep my fight
Feels like I'm better off dead, but you won't lay me down to rest
I, can't see the light
No I, can't keep my fight
Feels like I'm better off dead, but you won't lay me down to rest
Bury me six foot under!
I, can't see the light
No I, can't keep my fight
Feels like I'm better off dead, but you won't lay me down to rest
Bury me six foot under!
I, can't see the light
No I, can't keep my fight
Feels like I'm better off dead, but you won't lay me down to rest
Oh yeah!
