So many days, so many years
You’ve listened to them.
Through thick and thin, and dried up tears
You’ve listened to them.

You see it in the movies, and on T.V.
You wish for more
The anti-thesis of love and chivalry
You wish for more

These are your shackles of neglect
No one sees that they’re too tight
No one sees you put up the fight

These are your shackles of neglect
Out of all you’ve known, you build a wall
Out of all you’ve known, still hate to fall
Down
Down
Down

A plot to break from this wretched prison
You build up the strength
Eyes of anger, disrespected eyes of crimson
You build up more strength

You break free and fly fast towards the sun
And you try to chip away
Never slow down… You must run, run, run
You still try to chip away

These are your shackles of neglect
No one sees that they’re too tight
No one sees you put up the fight

These are your shackles of neglect
Out of all you’ve known, you build a wall
Out of all you’ve known, still hate to fall
Down
Down
Down
