Hostage

It seeps into the air
And splinters swiftly in my frown
Your garden turned to poison
When you put me in the ground
Caution were the wings
That flew you into war
Now you wait for your assignments
From the generals on the shore
But I can't think of every rose you plant for me
Where I am beauty makes me freeze and turn away
Your mindset, quicksand, long winter dance with me
Where I am beauty makes me freeze and turn away
Meet me in the countryside
Where the mountains look like hostages tonight
Caught between the cities and the lights
I don't think we have the right to be alive
Meet me in the countryside
Where the mountains look like hostages tonight
Caught between the cities and the lights
I don't think we have the right to be alive
Today I gave you a chicken salad sandwich
