Atreyu
Gallows
[Verse 1]
This life starts
With a heartbeat
Is it beat, beat, beat
Beat, beating, me down
Like the loser I am?

[Verse 2]
I can't help
But to see
That success scares
The living shit out of me
Like the loser I am

[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I walk away
Every word I never say

[Chorus]
Restless, chasing shadows
Choices, facing Gallows
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?
[Verse 3]
Denial
What subtle burn
Is it burn, burn, burn
Burn, burning me out
Or feeding the flames?

[Verse 4]
Spread out the ash
Pretend to see
That you can still
Find some value in me;
Or is it feeding the flames?

[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I walk away
Every word I never say

[Chorus]
Restless, chasing shadows
Choices, facing Gallows
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?
[Bridge]
Oh my god
What am I afraid of
Success or not having what it takes?
Oh my god
I afraid of me
And everything that brings

[Chorus]
Restless, chasing shadows
Choices, facing Gallows
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?

[Outro]
Afraid of who you are
Are you afraid of who you are?
