Vertical Horizon

I've like Vertical Horizon's sound for a while and have wondered about their faith from songs like "You're a God." But I've been listening to the whole album this morning and noticed songs like Miracle, Send it Up, and Shackled. Thought I would take a closer look.

"Send It Up"

Oh you make me lay down
Oh you make me forget I am here
Oh you're making me safe now
Oh you make the faces disappear

I'm all right by the way
Everyone saves the day
Sometimes I feel it

::Chorus::
Send it up
Send it up now
Send it up

::Chorus::

Oh I feel so close now Oh you're taking me back from where I've been
Oh I'm not alone now
Oh you rest me up and rush me in

I'm all right by the way
Everyone saves the day
Sometimes I feel it

::Chorus::

"Shackled"

For so long my life's been sewn up tight inside your hold
And it leaves me there without a place to call my own

I know now what shadows can see
There's no point in running 'less you run with me
It's half the distance through the open door
Before you cut me down
Again
Let me introduce you to the end

And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings
It always leads me back to suffering
But I will soar until the wind whips me down
Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again

So tired now of paying my dues
I start out strong but then I always lose
It's half the distance before you leave me behind
It's such a waste of time

::Chorus::LyricsCafe.com::
'Cause my shackles
You won't be
And my rapture
You won't believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me

So here I slave inside of a broken dream
Forever holding on to splitting seams
So take your piece and leave me alone to die
I don't need you to keep my faith alive

I know now what trouble can be
And why it follows me so easily
It's half the distance through the open door
Before you shut me down
Again
Let me introduce you to the end

::Chorus::LyricsCafe.com::

Though you know you care

::Chorus::LyricsCafe.com::

And my laughter
You won't hear
The faster
I disappear
And time will burn your eyes to tears


I'm still left wondering.
