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…
