Systems & Stories - 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
