Bondage of Fate

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.
