shackles Lyrics by jaxsen

THE PLAY

2022

[Verse 1]
Kind of think if I died
Everyone would let out a sigh of relief
Happy they got rid of me

[Pre-Chorus]
You could say all you want
But that won't change my mind at all
Been told it since I was a small child

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
Everyonе hates me
I was blind beforе because I chose to be
Now I connect the dots between who stayed and who left
They all got one thing in common

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Please let us out
We've had enough
This is no fun
And it never was!

[Outro]
We grab the keys
Unlock our feet
Get off our knees
And flee
