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.
