Precious Hostages

from Beautiful Mistakes by Scapeghost

/

lyrics

All those precious hostages I gave you
Can’t be freed by talk or guns or saviors
They walk out in the sun just ahead of your shadow
Mere feet from the precipice below

You have them and you let them go
You have them and you let them go
You have them and you let them go
To never walk free

All grand steps you allow to be taken
From the womb to the grave until you have forsaken
The continuum on which we base our lives
You pluck the beloved from right out in front of my eyes

You have her and you let her go
You have her and you let her go
You have her and you let her go
To never walk free
Now you have her
To never walk free
And you have her
To never walk free

In her frailty
In their frailty

You have them and you let them go
You have them and you let them go
You have them and you let them go
You have them and you let them go
You have me, now let them go
You have me, now let them go
You have me, now let her go
You have me, now let her go
You have me
You have me
You have me
Now let her walk free
In her frailty
In our frailty
In my frailty
