Lyrics One Last Salute - Hostage Calm

One Last Salute

Restless with the endless hurt of waiting
Trembling with the fear of wasting
It all on someone else
All on something else
Somehow, I always knew they’d come for us
But even if this sad world caught us
Why come running with your hands up?
Yeah, you still play
The dream doesn’t die, it just walks away
And you don’t chase
Hope it stays near
It will never disappear
If you can just keep an eye on it
It won’t disappear…
But it’s never looked farther from here
Then maybe I wouldn’t be hanging around
Here in Old Watertown
Pushing pallets around for someone else
Lately, I’ve been crawling through the wires
Whispering as the Hurt transpires, Is anybody trying to get us out of here?
You still say
The dream doesnt die, it just walks away
You don’t chase and pray it
Does not disappear
It’s never looked farther than here
Wishing we could go back To when I felt something, anything
I need a reaction
My soul satisfaction
Because I see the writing on the wall…
In the walls of the hospitals
We’re screaming things that can’t be proved
How this whole thing was unstoppable
We were burdened with its proof
Like how the beating comes free for all
But you’ll pay for every bruise
You didn’t choose, still we lose
In the walls of the hospital
Screamed the ones they couldn’t use
We can’t hold ‘em responsible
But, we can’t let them run loose
Chain gang baby playing rock’n’roll
And the mischeif that ensued
So please, one last salute
For the way that we lose
We been knocked around
We been kicked down
When the floor gave out
We found common ground
