Shackled Lyrics - Everything You Want - Vertical Horizon

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

Photos 

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
