Shackles on my feet
The ******* of the past
Thou held me out
Piercing my heart with bitterness
I tried to come undone
Portraying the beauty of the future
Wearing you like a cunning smile
Setting ablaze a binding heart
I let go
Letting deep like a broken vase
Pouring out it's flowery gaze
Turning love astray
Oh some foretelling
Relieving bad memories
Revealing the aches of oneself
Attaching a Biography to pain
Beautiful but broken
A Potter's broken piece
Stunning but broken
Leading to the ways of no return

Shackles on my feet
The ******* of the past
Thou held me out
Piercing my heart with bitterness
I tried to come undone
Portraying the beauty of the future
Wearing you like a cunning smile
Setting ablaze a binding heart
I let go
Letting deep like a broken vase
Pouring out it's flowery gaze
Turning love astray
Oh some foretelling
Relieving bad memories
Revealing the aches of oneself
Attaching a Biography to pain
Beautiful but broken
A Potter's broken piece
Stunning but broken
Leading to the ways of no return
