~Lyrics~

[Verse 1 - Stephen]
I didn’t see it coming
On the verge of crumbling
You vowed to drag me down
With you

Each day, you caught me stumbling
Found a way of numbing
The pain that stems from what you do

[Pre-chorus - Stephen]
I know it ain’t healthy
I know it ain’t wise
And in the end, I messed up
Now I’m a

[Chorus - Stephen]
Hostage, I’m exhausted
Yet I always end up being caught in
A crossfire of liars, always down to the wire
I’m locked inside my brain

Hostage, better be cautious
The thought of it makes me nauseous
My heart beating fast, no tellin' how long I’ll last
When I’m a hostage to myself

[Verse 2 - Mojo]
Endorphins high on dopamine
Feeling like I'm in a movie scene
(Am I locked inside a screen?)
(Reliving things I've already seen?)

Give me just one chance to think
Just some time for my brain to sync
(Keep my head far from the brink)
(I can't see, I can't even blink)

[Chorus - Mojo]
When I’m a Hostage, I’m exhausted
Yet I always end up being caught in
A crossfire of liars, always down to the wire
I’m locked inside my brain

Hostage, better be cautious
The thought of it makes me nauseous
My heart beating fast, no tellin' how long I’ll last
When I’m a hostage to myself

[Bridge - Stephen]
Hostage, it’s obnoxious
Got my brain feeling like garbage
Made me think it’s my fault
But it’s not

Hostage, feelin’ toxic
Got me broken over some gossip
Made me think it’s my fault
But it’s not

[Chorus - Stephen & Mojo]
Hostage, I’m exhausted
Yet I always end up being caught in
A crossfire of liars, always down to the wire
I’m locked inside my brain (Is this what you desire?)

Hostage, better be cautious
The thought of it makes me nauseous
My heart beating fast, no tellin' how long I’ll last
When I’m a hostage to myself

[Outro - Stephen & Mojo]
Hostage, I’m exhausted
Yet I always end up being caught in
A crossfire of liars, always down to the wire
I’m locked inside my brain

Hostage, better be cautious
The thought of it makes me nauseous
My heart beating fast, no tellin' how long I’ll last
When I’m a hostage to myself...
