Vertical Horizon
“Shackled”
This song is one of my favorites. I like it because I think it describes how I have let guys control my life. I think it really sums up my relationship with Ian. (See first entry) Anyway, It is a really good song. The words are awesome, but the music is great too! I would totally reccomend this song to anyone.
For so long my life’s been sewn up tight inside your hold
And it leaves me there without a place to call my own
I know now what shadows can see
There’s no point in running unless you run with me
It’s half the distance through the open door
Before you cut me down
Again…
So let me introduce you to the end
And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings
It always leads me back to suffering
But I will soar until the wind whips me down
Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again
So tired now of paying my dues
I start out strong but then I always lose
It’s half the distance before you leave me behind
It’s such a waste of time
‘Cause my shackles
You won’t be
And my rapture
You won’t believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me
So here I slave inside of a broken dream
Forever holding on to splitting seams
So take your piece and leave me alone to die
I don’t need you to keep my faith alive
And I know now what trouble can be
And why it follows me so easily
It’s half the distance through the open door
Before you shut me down
Again…
Let me introduce you to the end
‘Cause my shackles
You won’t be
And my rapture
You won’t believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me
So though you know you care
My shackles
You won’t be
And my rapture
You won’t believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me
And my laughter
You won’t hear
The faster I disappear
And time will burn your eyes…
I love Vertical Horizon…my favorite songs of theirs are “You’re A God” and “Best I Ever Had”…they sorta describe the way I feel about my ex. =o( But I love all of Vertical Horizon’s songs (‘cept “Everything You Want” kinda got overplayed).

Ah, I agree–I adore this song. It’s so…just…fiery and fun to sing along with…it fills me with a sort of oh-yeah-well-I-don’t-have-to-take-this-crap-anymore kind of feeling…but that might just be me. :):) Anyway…I agree with the note above me–“You’re A God” is another of my favorites from that CD…but, despite its being overplayed, I adore “Everything You Want.” *shrug* Ah, well. 🙂
