Hostage Calm - One Last Salute lyrics

Restless with the endless hurt of waiting Trembling with the fear of wasting It all on someone else All on something else Somehow, I always knew they'd come for us But even if this sad world caught us Why come running with your hands up? Yeah, you still play The dream doesn't die, it just walks away And you don't chase Hope it stays near It will never disappear If you can just keep an eye on it It won't disappear… But it's never looked farther from here Then maybe I wouldn't be hanging around Here in Old Watertown Pushing pallets around for someone else Lately, I've been crawling through the wires Whispering as the Hurt transpires,
Is anybody trying to get us out of here? You still say The dream doesnt die, it just walks away You don't chase and pray it Does not disappear It's never looked farther than here Wishing we could go back
To when I felt something, anything I need a reaction My soul satisfaction Because I see the writing on the wall… In the walls of the hospitals We're screaming things that can't be proved How this whole thing was unstoppable We were burdened with its proof Like how the beating comes free for all But you'll pay for every bruise You didn't choose, still we lose In the walls of the hospital Screamed the ones they couldn't use We can't hold ‘em responsible But, we can't let them run loose Chain gang baby playing rock'n'roll And the mischeif that ensued So please, one last salute For the way that we lose We been knocked around We been kicked down When the floor gave out We found common ground
