Chains
Hear my heartbeat, steady as the stones sleep
In this castle that holds me down
I . . . am tossing and turning in nightmares of my life
And counting the moments to pass the time
But I won't fall into line!
And this city isn't my home
I was born to run, far away
I won't look back to the roots of my
Past—shackled in chains that made me
Bound by chains that will break me
Saturate my blood with hate
Lusting for rebellion's taste
No I won't accept this lifeless fate
Heartbeat fast, I see her face
Feeling high on wild grace
Ignite my flame, freedom in my veins
How I long to call your name
But this love is a game
I know, I know, that we're not the same
Am I insane? This love is in vain
'Cause you're an animal, to me, to me
Yeah, you don't know you're free
You're an animal to me, to me
And I'm caught in the seams!
But this city isn't my home
I was born to run, far away
I won't look back to the roots of my
past—shackled in chains that made me
Bound by chains that will break me
Lightning flashed as she ran
Lick my lips, blood on my hands
Hungry for a naked name, parting with this rusting chain
I won't turn back, I'll press on
Wide awake and standing strong
Letting go of my wrongs
But I'll press on
And this city isn't my home
I was born to run, far away
I won't look back to the roots of my
Past—shackled in chains that made me
Bound in chains, but I'm breaking free
In this castle that holds me down
I . . . am tossing and turning in nightmares of my life
And counting the moments to pass the time
But I won't fall into line!
And this city isn't my home
I was born to run, far away
I won't look back to the roots of my
Past—shackled in chains that made me
Bound by chains that will break me
Saturate my blood with hate
Lusting for rebellion's taste
No I won't accept this lifeless fate
Heartbeat fast, I see her face
Feeling high on wild grace
Ignite my flame, freedom in my veins
How I long to call your name
But this love is a game
I know, I know, that we're not the same
Am I insane? This love is in vain
'Cause you're an animal, to me, to me
Yeah, you don't know you're free
You're an animal to me, to me
And I'm caught in the seams!
But this city isn't my home
I was born to run, far away
I won't look back to the roots of my
past—shackled in chains that made me
Bound by chains that will break me
Lightning flashed as she ran
Lick my lips, blood on my hands
Hungry for a naked name, parting with this rusting chain
I won't turn back, I'll press on
Wide awake and standing strong
Letting go of my wrongs
But I'll press on
And this city isn't my home
I was born to run, far away
I won't look back to the roots of my
Past—shackled in chains that made me
Bound in chains, but I'm breaking free
