Gallows - Atreyu

This life starts

With a heartbeat

Is it beat, beat, beat

Beat, beating, me down

Like the loser I am?

I can’t help

But to see

That success scares

The living shit out of me

Like the loser I am

Every time I walk away

Every word I never say

Restless, chasing shadows

Choices, facing Gallows

Are you hanging by a thread

Or swinging from the rope?

Don’t think we don’t see your scars

Are you afraid of who you are?

Are you afraid of who you are?

Denial

What subtle burn

Is it burn, burn, burn

Burn, burning me out

Or feeding the flames?

Spread out the ash

Pretend to see

That you can still

Find some value in me;

Or is it feeding the flames?

Every time I walk away

Every word I never say

Restless, chasing shadows

Choices, facing Gallows

Are you hanging by a thread

Or swinging from the rope?

Don’t think we don’t see your scars

Are you afraid of who you are?

Oh my god

What am I afraid of

Success or not having what it takes?

Oh my god

I afraid of me

And everything that brings

Restless, chasing shadows

Choices, facing Gallows

Are you hanging by a thread

Or swinging from the rope?

Don’t think we don’t see your scars

Are you afraid of who you are?

Afraid of who you are

Are you afraid of who you are?
