HOSTAGE MASTER

(Album: VOLCANIC BIRD ENEMY AND THE VOICED CONCERN - 2021)

It seeps into the air
And splinters swiftly in my frown
Your garden turned to poison
When you put me in the ground
Caution were the wings
That flew you into war
Now you wait for your assignments
From the generals on the shore

But I can't think of every rose you plant for me
Where I am
Beauty makes me freeze and turn away
Your mindset
Quicksand
Long winter dance with me
Where I am
Beauty makes me freeze and turn away

Meet me in the countryside
Where the mountains look like hostages tonight
Caught between the cities and the lights
I don't think we have the right to be alive

Meet me in the countryside
Where the mountains look like hostages tonight
Caught between the cities and the lights
I don't think we have the right to be alive
