Shackles on my Feet
 

The burning in your eyes before you cry

The guilt you feel after so many tries. 

​

The hole in your heart after they’re gone 

The scars on your skin; this battle is on.

 

But I walk down the street

Even with these shackles on my feet

I still got this heartbeat

Just gotta tell myself to breathe.

Yeah, I walk down the street 

Even with these shackles on my feet

I still got this heartbeat

Just gotta tell myself to breathe.

 

The cracks in your soul when you’re awake 

The fear that’s real and a future opaque.

 

The light in the dark to guide you home

A warm embrace; no, you’re not alone.

 

So I walk down the street

Even with these shackles on my feet

I still got this heartbeat

Just gotta tell myself to breathe.

Yeah, I walk down the street

Even with these shackles on my feet

I still got this heartbeat

Just gotta tell myself to breathe.

 

So I walk down the street

Even with these shackles on my feet

I still got this heartbeat

Just gotta tell myself to breathe.

Yeah, I walk down the street

Even with these shackles on my feet

I still got this heartbeat

Just gotta tell myself to breathe.
