Holding Yourself Hostage - Xasthur

Free to live and free to die

I don’t see you giving either a try

Don’t think about what you left behind

You can keep it all in your mind

And it’ll be your own

You’re never too old to run away from home

You never know what you’ll find

Prison of choice wasn’t as designed

Let it be theirs, see if anyone cares

They forgot to tax your feet

Pick a direction, don’t admit defeat

You’re never too old to run away from home

There’ll always be another him or her

They only held you hostage where you were

Don’t let the question mark be too dark

You’re never too old to run away from home

We won’t call it love or hate

There’s so much you can’t tolerate

There’s no reason to live here anymore

It’s just something you can’t ignore

It’s the best tip I could put in your jar

These days a dollar won’t get you far
