Time - Letter to a Hostage lyrics

This is a letter to a hostage, reality he's lost it What's the price for addiction, your life it will cost it One more shot, one more hit, one more spliff One more drag, one more sip, then i'll quit Multiple interventions, but you ain't listening You stop for a day but for a taste you're wishing it I'll get out of this, that's the logic of a kidnapper isn't it? Is no more pointy needles in your veins the point or am i missing it? You could see his track record from his track marks The finish line will be police tape, toe tagged in the dark Junk in the veins, the brains the same Withdrawals make him a wild boy like johnny the beast you can't tame Madness erased if he could get another taste His skin tears like lace, sanity replaced I wrote this cause i didn't want to see you and fight Just know i got love for you, i hope you hear this and see the light [Hook: Giuseppe] No duct tape, got a rubber hose holding me in place Throw your rope away, spoons dig my hole deeper but i can't escape Locked in a room with no light but there's a smile on my face [Verse 2: Time] Dear hostage, i know you're feeling boxed in Your house looks like a train wreck you drink from the faucet Your ceiling turns to swords, your walls start to hug Not to mention there's a bed of nails under your rug There's a horse in your brain, galloping through your cortex Begging you for more even when you sleep, you can't ignore it Huxley, perceptions, can he open up the doors yet? * That cigarettes a hyundai but that needle feel like a corvette * Fish don't know they're in water cuz that's their habitat So maybe you don't even you're an addict with a habit yet Are you wearing a belt or is that a turnaquet? Your one day sober badge, you better burn it kid There ain't no requium for a dream it's a nightmare This is addiction and real life don't fight fare You're talking bout that ya=hay, you want that final fix Well you just bought some cheap junk, maybe this is it [Hook: Giuseppe] No duct tape, got a rubber hose holding me in place Throw your rope away, spoons dig my hole deeper but i can't escape Locked in a room with no light but there's a smile on my face [Verse 3: Time] Dear hostage, i hope you stay positive Get that poison out your veins, you're a gift with lots to give But i know you'll never do Detox like dr. dre That's why i'm blowing up your phone and leaving messages all day Sober is a friend he knows nothing about Except that she exists only as a word that leaks from his mouth Maybe i'm addicted to trying to stop your addiction Maybe we both want drama, that's our common prescription Sometimes the hostage is the kidnapper and the victim As well as the homicide, accomplice and witness Your mom's been calling me asking me why you ain't been home But it's kind of hard to explain to her stockholm syndrome If i told you his was dead i'd just be lying Cuz i saw him downtown yesterday holding a cardboard sign Don't serve the time, let the time serve you You deserve yourself, the world deserves you
