Bondage of fate lyrics

There's a hole in my head

With my thoughts pouring through

A space in my soul that I'm saving for you

A time made for misery, feelings of shame

Where all of the promises fade just the same

And people will ask you to carry their woe

A pleasure so painful it punishes so

You're tied to their memory, love and their hate

It's a beautiful burden

The bondage of fate

When I think of you now and all that we are

I'm frightened of failing and falling so far

The person you wanted is not what I am

I'm sure you imagined a much better man

The vision I cherished was shining and new

All brittle and burnished and rarely like you

I'm tied to your memory, love and your hate

It's a beautiful burden

The bondage of fate

I'm tied to your memory, love and your hate

It's a beautiful burden

The bondage of fate
