For so long my life's been sewn up tight inside your hold
|
And it leaves me there without a place to call my own
|
|
I know now what shadows can see
|
There's no point in running 'less you run with me
|
It's half the distance through the open door
|
Before you cut me down
|
Again
|
Let me introduce you to the end
|
|
And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings
|
It always leads me back to suffering
|
But I will soar until the wind whips me down
|
Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again
|
|
So tired now of paying my dues
|
I start out strong but then I always lose
|
It's half the distance before you leave me behind
|
It's such a waste of time
|
|
[Chorus]
|
'Cause my shackles
|
You won't be
|
And my rapture
|
You won't believe
|
And deep inside you will bleed for me
|
|
So here I slave inside of a broken dream
|
Forever holding on to splitting seams
|
So take your piece and leave me alone to die
|
I don't need you to keep my faith alive
|
|
I know now what trouble can be
|
And why it follows me so easily
|
It's half the distance through the open door
|
Before you shut me down
|
Again
|
Let me introduce you to the end
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Though you know you care
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
And my laughter
|
You won't hear
|
The faster
|
I disappear
|
And time will burn your eyes to tears
|
