Shackled

<br>For so long my life`s been sewn up tight inside your hold<br>And it leaves me there without a place to call my own <br><br>I know now what shadows can see<br>There`s no point in running `less you run with me<br>It`s half the distance through the open door<br>Before you cut me down<br>Again<br>Let me introduce you to the end <br><br>And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings<br>It always leads me back to suffering<br>But I will soar until the wind whips me down<br>Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again <br><br>So tired now of paying my dues<br>I start out strong but then I always lose<br>It`s half the distance before you leave me behind<br>It`s such a waste of time <br><br>Chorus<br>`Cause my shackles<br>You won`t be<br>And my rapture<br>You won`t believe<br>And deep inside you will bleed for me <br><br>So here I slave inside of a broken dream<br>Forever holding on to splitting seams<br>So take your piece and leave me alone to die<br>I don`t need you to keep my faith alive <br><br>I know now what trouble can be<br>And why it follows me so easily<br>It`s half the distance through the open door<br>Before you shut me down<br>Again<br>Let me introduce you to the end <br><br>Chorus <br><br>Though you know you care <br><br>Chorus <br><br>And my laughter<br>You won`t hear<br>The faster <br>I disappear<br>And time will burn your eyes to tears
