Vertical Horizon - Shackled

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 ... // i will soar until the wind whips me down; leaves me beaten on unholy ground // 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

here i slave inside of a broken dream, forever holding on to splitting seams // so take your piece (/ peace) 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 // so let me introduce you to the end
