"Captive"

“Captive”
Are we the waiting, like names on a list?
Drawn out, and predefined as our fate is sealed
I’m getting fed up with all this obstructive behavior
Looking to the horizon, there is no fucking savior

And we crash
Through the sky
Never stopping to ask

My hands are shaking as the air turns dry, still black and white
As the fires burn and the sky goes black as night (black as night)
We’re all held captive, but we’ll never die, never die
Fix these broken wings and leave this place behind

I will see you sitting from afar
In times of madness, creating a scar
I will not off you my sympathy,
As you have already spoiled mine

So, where do we go, cause I don’t know
I don’t know

And we crash
Through the sky
Never stopping to ask why

My hands are shaking as the air turns dry, still black and white
As the fires burn and the sky goes black as night (black as night)
We’re all held captive, but we’ll never die, never die
Fix these broken wings and leave this place behind

All that I am, all that I need
I will leave this place
All that I am, all that I need
I will leave this place

Stuck running in place
Under a dry and relentless rain
Words said I can’t hear
Then she will disappear

This is all I can give
It’s not really that much
I am a flawed symmetry
Please put me out of my misery

I wait for the sky
To come and swallow me
And take me from here

And we crash
Through the sky
Never stopping to ask why

My hands are shaking as the air turns dry, still black and white
As the fires burn and the sky goes black as night (black as night)
We’re all held captive, but we’ll never die, never die
Fix these broken wings and leave this place behind

I will leave this place
I will leave this place behind
