[Lyric] Hostage (Speechwriters LLC)

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
