They push the record button on the camera
Handing me a piece of paper to read
I can feel their greed
Their holding me for random I see
Wanting a big pay day
From the USA
But even I know it doesn't work that way
We don't negotiate
And take action when it's too late
When their done using me
The through me in a cave
I hate this place
The ground is cold
And the water a rotting brown color
The only sounds I hear are their foot steps
An murmurings of a languages I do not share
I should've never came to this place
Afghanistan
Wanting to do reports of our troops brought me here
Wanted to know how deep the rabbit hole goes
How much did our troops really know
I figure now their just searching for things that looks suspicious
But three men walk in derailing my train of thought
Dragging me out of the cave
Yelling words I don't understand
Why me I'm a nobody
No one knows my name
The only tv time I've gotten is between these camera frames
As the push record again
One pulls out a machete
I blink hard
Already knowing my fate
The shove my face towards the ground
And all I hear
Is the machete coming for me
