Atreyu: Gallows

This life starts with a heartbeat<br />
Is it beat, beat, beat, beat, beating me down<br />
Like the loser I am?<br />
<br />
I can't help but to see<br />
That success scares the living shit outta me<br />
Like the loser I am<br />
<br />
Every time I walk away<br />
Every word I ever say<br />
<br />
Restless, chasing shadows<br />
Choices, facing gallows pole<br />
Are you hanging by a thread<br />
Or swinging from the rope?<br />
<br />
Don't think we don't see your scars<br />
Are you afraid of who you are?<br />
Are you afraid of who you are?<br />
<br />
Denial, a subtle burn<br />
Is it burn, burn, burn, burn, burning me out<br />
Or feeding the flames?<br />
<br />
Spread out the ash, pretend to see<br />
That you can still find some value in me<br />
Or just feed the flames<br />
<br />
Every time I walk away<br />
Every word I'd ever say<br />
<br />
Restless, chasing shadows<br />
Choices, facing gallows pole<br />
Are you hanging by a thread<br />
Or swinging from the rope?<br />
<br />
Don't think we don't see your scars<br />
Are you afraid of who you are?<br />
<br />
Oh my God, what am I afraid of<br />
Success or not having what it takes?<br />
Oh my God, I am afraid of me<br />
And everything that brings<br />
<br />
Restless, chasing shadows<br />
Choices, facing gallows pole<br />
Are you hanging by a thread<br />
Or swinging from the rope?<br />
<br />
Don't think we don't see your scars<br />
Are you afraid of who you are?<br />
Afraid of who you are<br />
Are you afraid of who you are?
