Captive - Chasing Safety

As silence breaks I’m left here with a common taste

Follow the light to the other side to find death

Fall back to a hazy gaze.

I try to let my mind erase

My blood flows with memories of a time I haven’t lived yet

Oh, well I don’t want to waste this life but I can’t let go of time

These thoughts and memories they hold me captive

Things may never change the way these thoughts and memories

They hold me captive

I attempt to swallow, its hard to get the fear down my throat

I feel the pain so lightly but who knew it be so frightening

I fear the world that’s around me

I fear the person inside me

I fear the world that’s around me

I fear the people inside me

Oh, well I don’t want to waste this life but I can’t let go of time

These thoughts and memories they hold me captive

Things may never change the way these thoughts and memories

They hold me captive

I’ll stay so quiet to find inside why I’m smiling

I’ll tread so lightly to find myself in what I’m hiding

So it’s time let’s get the story straight

Is it our right to decline parts of life we hate

Fall in line now please pick up your plate

I hide myself in my mind to figure out the state

Come on let me really know why bother living inside this tiny hole

Oh, well I don’t want to waste this life but I can’t let go of time

These thoughts and memories they hold me captive

Things may never change the way these thoughts and memories

They hold me captive
