Shackled

[Verse 1]
I've been consistent
But what did it bring me?
What did it bring me?
But an okay catalogue, I guess
There's a monster within me
And it's never enough for a boy like me
You tried to set me free
But I'm bound and I'm shackled
To this old friend called misery

[Verse 2]
I try hard to listen
And cut through the noise just to pick out a voice
But the words sound strange and meaningless
'Cause I can't relate and now all
That I'm craving is a clarity
But it feels so out of reach
When I'm bound and I'm shackled
To this old friend called misery
Yeah, I'm bound and I'm shackled
To this old friend called misery

[Bridge]
I try so hard
Guess I try a little too hard
But the waves keep crashing in
I try so hard
And if I try a little too hard
It's only 'cause I'm never giving in

[Verse 3]
Yes, I've been consistent
But what did it bring me?
What did it bring me?
If a distant silver lining is shining her light
Right on the horizon for a boy like me
How I can be freed?
If I'm bound and I'm shackled
To this old friend called misery
Yeah I'm bound and I'm shackled
To this old friend called misery
Yes, I'm bound and I'm shackled
To this old friend called misery
