Overstayed - Hostage Calm
We stretched our skins over the rims
Oh how we beat ourselves to death
The sound decays spread too thin to resonate
If we don't fold the wrinkles show
Each trepid movement an intrusion onto sacred soil
Now vacant from a welcome overstayed
Our refuge fades away
Burned out in verse is it still carry worth
How long can it last when each note hurts
These hands still play
But who knew that would shake this way
This way
Will these tired strings still sing if we asked
And what would they say
And what would they say
Would they convey fears of echoes in distant halls
Where together and forever
Have a meaning all their own
Our refuge fades away
