Hostage

You're walking pathways through my flesh
You're making sure I don't catch my breath
At night I feel eyes I can't meet
At dusk the garden speaks
I sense the switchblade at my spine
I know the shadows aren't mine

My own home is a cage if you lock me inside
My own home is a cage if you lock me inside

I don't want to sleep, I don't want to bleed
Let me be, let me be
I don't want to sleep, I don't want to bleed
Let me be, let me breathe, let me breathe

I am asleep and you're at the window
Your fingers pining to circle my throat
I am asleep and you're at the window
