May Love Prevail - Hostage Calm

Hey Twenty-Two

I’m onto you

And all the while refusing to

Believe that you’re a party to their

Cold, cornered, grey aesthetic

Cracked pavement, pale, pathetic

In this crowd of battered lives

I found eyes

They think we’re shy but we’re twice as alive

Oh, they won’t know

It’s their panic that scowls straight through your face

But ‘til they put their heart against the State

They’ll never know how to pump blood like us

Now it’s just rushing to my head

And now all your friends

They’re afraid of you

Their cheating world is watching

Close your eyes

Hope that something survives

Oh, I seen you shake

Like you just can’t take

Waiting for them to

Make up your mind

(Just give me…)

One for the worst times ahead

One for the words left unsaid

One for their world on its head…

They won’t know
