LEFT BEHIND LYRICS

1. Hostage

I'm a hostage

No

Help me

I'm a hostage in my own head. I beat the shit, out of myself every night thinking about every fight I start, every pointless argument.

What did I do?
Who can I trust?

I can't free myself from this shit.

For every time I wouldn't shut my mouth, 'til it made you leave.
Man I wish I could stop feelin' like this, with everything in me.

I used to say that you were bathing in sin, well I'm drowning in it.
I'm useless, I've got no luck.
Too gone, I'm so fucked.

Let me rest 'til my thoughts cease.
No more goals I can't achieve.
No more promises I can't keep.
I don't wanna breathe, I don't wanna see.

Just let me sleep.

2. 1%

You left your friends and paved your way to the top with the shit you said you'd never do, I fuckin' believed in you. Four years, a business degree, white picket fence and broken dreams.

You said,

"I'll never do that."

You bastard

"I'm doing what's right."

You coward

"This isn't for me"

You fucking liar

"It's how you make it"

Your mind's corrupt, your only concern is not going bankrupt.

Might as well throw your ambition in a cage, we sell our souls or work for minimum wage.

Your only faith is in money.
Religion of dollars and cents.
Kill the poor, praise the wealthy.
Your salary is your fix.

You let your self worth be fueled by the greed you hate.
You signed the contract, sold your soul for the American Dream.

Not 'til I'm ready to die, will I leave this behind. The only thing I put myself into.
Fuck money, fuck the 1%, fuck you for even thinking I'd quit.
