shackles Lyrics

Kind of think if I died

Everyone would let out a sigh of relief

Happy they got rid of me

You could say all you want

But that won't change my mind at all

Been told it since I was a small child

All your friends got the same anklets

Rusty, brown, metallic looking

They can't stand you but they can't leave

Like a prisoner, you hold them down

You shackle them to the ground

Do everything with them, they can't breath

Pictures of me line the walls

From days before I'd ever fall

When I thought I was loved by all

Now the truth I see

Everyone hates me

I was blind before because I chose to be

Now I connect the dots between who stayed and who left

They all got one thing in common

All your friends got the same anklets

Rusty, brown, metallic looking

They can't stand you but they can't leave

Like a prisoner, you hold them down

You shackle them to the ground

Do everything with them, they can't breath

Please let us out

We've had enough

This is no fun

And it never was!

We grab the keys

Unlock our feet

Get off our knees

And flee
