HOSTAGE Lyrics by elijah

e2*

2024

[Verse 1]
Lay in bed alone at night, awake
Stuck inside the walls that I create
P-P-P-Paralyzed by all my own mistakes
How can I escape?
I need a sign of hope (Something to break this curse)
But I can't cut the rope

[Chorus]
I'm my own worst enemy, enemy
I lock myself away in misery and lost the key
I'm going crazy, losing sanity, sanity
Right when I think that I got it
I'm back in the cage that I'm locked in
I hold myself hostage

[Verse 2]
I’d pull away away but both my hands are tied
Punishment is twenty-five to life
Bleeding out, don’t know if I’ll survive
How will I survive?

[Chorus]
I'm my own worst enemy, enеmy
I lock myself away in misery and lost the kеy
I'm going crazy, losing sanity, sanity
Right when I think that I got it
I'm back in the cage that I'm locked in
I hold myself hostage

[Bridge]
I try to find the find the silver lining in the darkness
Why do I always end up right back where I started?
I try to find the find the silver lining in the darkness
Why do I always end up right back where I started?

[Breakdown]
(Somebody set me)
(Somebody set me free)
(Somebody set me)
Somebody set me free
Yeah, I need a sign of hope
Something to break this curse
But I can't cut the rope

[Chorus]
I'm my own worst enemy, enemy
I lock myself away in misery and lost the key
I'm going crazy, losing sanity, sanity
Right when I think that I got it
I'm back in the cage that I'm locked in
I hold myself hostage

[Outro]
Enemy, enemy
I lock myself away in misery and lost the key
Hold myself hostage
Back in the cage that I'm locked in
I hold myself hostage
