Someone Else - Hostage Calm

My back on the railroad tracks

Each misgiving you won’t give back

It’s no help when I tell myself

This is the last time

Jet-black, baby, comb it back

Your legs relax as you watch my act

It’s put on, but it’s all for you

This is the last time that I’ll be

Someone else for someone else

A cold call to a vacant heart

The sound of your voice as I wait in the dark

I’m the pieces as you take apart

This is the last time

Made accomplice ‘cause I’ve played the part

I fall ensnared in your steel-barbed arms

Beholden to holding you

This is the last time that I’ll be

Someone else for someone else

A cold call to a vacant heart

I hear your voice, I feel your dark

Implicated ‘cause I’ve taken part

Just this last time…

And I never looked better;

I was meant for you to use

I’ll stay shackled, and tethered

For this is my body

It shall be given up for you

Someone else for someone else
