A Mistrust Earned - Hostage Calm

Confronting the lessons you wish you’d learned

(A mistrust earned)

Riding the wheels you feared would turn

A mistrust earned, oh, a mistrust I earned

Fled the bedlam;

scathed, I stagger on

A mistrust earned, oh, a mistrust I earned

Rushed to trust in the season

My feet ran from «Oh, where to begin!»

Now stranded on shifting ground

Its pallor confounds

Then again, I’ve looked down

A Mistrust I Earned
