Captive Lyrics by Chasing Safety

Nomad

2017

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
