Brokenheartland - Hostage Calm

Staring through the disconnect

I felt my own inconsequence

Beneath the standing armies of discontent

I felt my own inconsequence

On a waiting train that wouldn’t leave

I prayed these chords my soul to keep

Tonight, they won’t take me alive

Cause there’s a song everyone knows

Though no one sang a single note

I can hear it

From the rumbling jungles of our self-defeat

To the sullen barracks where no one dares to sleep

On the battlefields of broken hearts

I saw this world fucking torn apart

Just waiting for nothing

Tonight, they won’t take me alive

Cause there’s a song everyone knows

Though no one sang a single note

I can hear it

Across the broken heartland, we’re all coming out

Blasting the sound of the trodden down

And tonight we’re for it

Fucking verse, bridge and chorus

No one knows who won the wars, but we know something’s died

Sleepless, workless, stuck in line

Giving in for the first time

We just stopped waiting for someone to save us

They tell me we got something to lose

(Like what, to whom?)

They tell me we got something to lose

(Like what, to whom?)

And I know you hear it too
