Shackled

For so long my life's been sewn up tight inside your holdAnd it leaves me there without a place to call my ownI know now what shadows can seeThere's no point in running 'less you run with meIt's half the distance through the open doorBefore you cut me downAgainLet me introduce you to the endAnd I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wingsIt always leads me back to sufferingBut I will soar until the wind whips me downLeaves me beaten on unholy ground againSo tired now of paying my duesI start out strong but then I always loseIt's half the distance before you leave me behindIt's such a waste of timeChorus'Cause my shacklesYou won't beAnd my raptureYou won't believeAnd deep inside you will bleed for meSo here I slave inside of a broken dreamForever holding on to splitting seamsSo take your piece and leave me alone to dieI don't need you to keep my faith aliveI know now what trouble can beAnd why it follows me so easilyIt's half the distance through the open doorBefore you shut me downAgainLet me introduce you to the endChorusThough you know you careChorusAnd my laughterYou won't hearThe fasterI disappearAnd time will burn your eyes to tears
