Lyrics for Gallows

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