Maniac

When I was young I used to hide
Caught between the words, between the lines
I didn't even realize
This was tearing me apart

'Don't take a risk and don't revolt!'
Weird little girl, invisible
But what doesn't kill you now
Will haunt you after dark

Keeping quiet or running psycho?
I know there's nobody to blame
But the past just won't let me go

I'm a maniac
Chained to my history
I can't break it off
It's what you made of me
What you made of me
(Chained to my history)
I'm a maniac
Chained to my history

Every finger that you hit grows a razor-sharp claw
Every hair that you pulled out grows back in color
And for every knife in my chest
I break two stainless hearts

I used to wish I was someone else
Now I am driven, can't rest in myself
Any wrong word can pull the trigger
And be the final straw

I'm a maniac
Chained to my history
I can't break it off
It's what you made of me
What you made of me
(Chained to my history)
I'm a maniac
Chained to my history
I'm a maniac
Chained to my history

Keeping quiet or running psycho?
I know there's nobody to blame
But the past just won't let me go
Though quite a lot has changed
Controlled by aggression
I strangle new blossom
Young, tamed and imprisoned

I'm a maniac
Chained to my history
I can't break it off
It's what you made of me
What you made of me
Chained to my history
I'm a maniac
Chained to my history
