held hostage

Heartfelt honesty is what I need from you 
Feeling held hostage in my own home too
It’s untrue what you say — I’m so-called genuine
Thanks for your kindness today, but where have you been?

I exist for a purpose…
I still feel hopeless…
I’m making little progress
I feel rather helpless…
Held hostage at home all the time
All the time, all the time, all the time

The society I live in
Is full of insanity
Again, what I’m feelin’
Is filled with misery
Held hostage at home
Held hostage at home
Held hostage, deep down inside,
At home and I’m on His pleasant ride
Away from home…
That’s where I roam

Caving in, this depression is caving in again
Feeling captivity for being left behind it seems
It’s untrue what you say — I’m so-called genuine
Thanks for your empathy today, but where have you been?

I exist for a purpose…
I still feel hopeless…
I’m making little progress
I feel rather helpless…
Held hostage at home all the time
All the time, all the time, all the time

The society I live in
Is full of insanity
Again, what I’m feelin’
Is filled with misery
Held hostage at home
Held hostage at home
Held hostage, deep down inside,
At home and I’m on His pleasant ride
Away from home…
That’s where I roam

I exist for a purpose…
I still feel hopeless…
I’m making little progress
I feel rather helpless…
Held hostage at home all the time
All the time, all the time, all the time

The society I live in
Is full of insanity
Again, what I’m feelin’
Is filled with misery
Held hostage at home
Held hostage at home
Held hostage, deep down inside,
At home and I’m on His pleasant ride
Away from home…
That’s where I roam

Held hostage, deep down inside,
At home and I’m on His pleasant ride
Away from home…
That’s where I roam
Heartfelt honesty is what I need from you 
Feeling held hostage in my own home too
Tell me darling, is it true?
Do you love me? Well, I do…
Held hostage by this familiar sting of rue…
