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.
