Shrouds

This is what I've become The spitting image of Another wretch in the periphery of love And what I thought was gold Was just a shade of black If my soul is this far gone I might not ever take it back If I am this far gone, I might not take it back Distant, floating My scars are showing My throat's constricting Shroud around my heart is lifting Memories aching, my boughs are breaking Lifeless, shallow Lead me to the gallows I'm drowning in the wake Of every bond I break As I'm condemned to tread on the heels of sorrow The life I thought I'd live I found a way to kill If I am this far gone, I'm never coming back I'm never coming back Distant, floating My scars are showing My throat's constricting Shroud around my heart is lifting Memories aching, my boughs are breaking Lifeless, shallow Lead me to the gallows This is what becomes of me When the world can see the person that I am that's buried underneath Distant, floating My scars are showing My throat's constricting Shroud around my heart is lifting Memories aching, my boughs are breaking Lifeless, shallow Lead me to the gallows
