For so long my life's been sewn up tight inside your soul
And it leaves me there without a place to call my own
I peel myself out and I drudge on through the day
My only way to escape is to fly away

I feel the cold blowing beneath my wings
Always leads me back to suffering, well
Time will not be over for me anymore
Always leaves me on the frozen floor, well

I know what shadows can see
No point in running 'less you're running free
Half the distance through the open door
Before you cut me down again
Let me introduce you to the end

My shackles, you won't be
And my rapture, you won't believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me
My laughter, you won't hear
The faster I disappear
And time will burn your eyes to tears

So here I slave inside a broken dream
Forever holding on to splitting seams again
So take your peace and leave me alone to die
Don't need you to keep my faith alive, well

So tired 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, you see
I can tell you how it's gonna be

Cause my shackles, you won't be
And my raptures, you won't believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me
My laughter, you won't hear
The faster I disappear
And time will burn your eyes to tears
