Lyrics
Here I sit, the darkness creeps around my mind
Here I stay, yearning to be free
I count the days go by, praying that today's the day t hey let me go
Back to my family, to the life I used to know
How will this end, a bullet to the back of my head
Or will I laugh, as I'm freed into your arms
Oh please remember me, I may look calm but I can't take anymore
Why did I ever leave that day? Why did I walk out that door?
Pay the man, give him what he wants to let me go
Meet his price, whatever that may be
Why am I still here, I don't understand
Aren't I worth the ransom they demand?
Time is up, the hour passes silently.
No word, no sign of what will come to pass
The wait is killing me, suspense that I could do without
Feed my discontentment, feed my doubt
Pay the man, give him what he wants to let me go
Pay his price, whatever that may be
Why am I still here, I don't understand
Aren't I worth the ransom they demand?
