Orpheus

Please Tell me how do I
Break free from the chains that bind
They now rust with time
Once my anchor, safe and sound
But now I'm sinking, on solid ground
Each step I take feels like the last
A shadow looms from our buried past
You carved your name into my skin
But all it brought was the weight of sin

Digging my grave, deeper each day
Can't break free, but I can't stay
You were the wings that made me fly
Now you're the cage, erasing the sky

I built my dreams on a hollow shell
A castle of glass, now it's my hell
You were the mirror I looked into
But all I saw was a fading hue

Your words, like chains, they hold me tight
Every promise made, another bite
I used to see the stars in your eyes
Now all I see are the tears I hide

Breaking free is losing a part
The piece of you that's in my heart
But holding on is killing me slow
The urge to leave, but it hurts to go

Your love is a blade
Cutting me down with every mistake I made
But in this grave I dug so deep
I'll bury the love that I couldn't keep
But in this grave I dug so deep
I'll bury the love that I couldn't keep
That I couldn't keep

I built my dreams on a hollow shell
A castle of glass, now it's my hell
You were the mirror I looked into
But all I saw was a fading hue
I built my dreams on a hollow shell
A castle of glass, now it's my hell
You were the mirror I looked into
But all I saw was a fading hue
A fading hue
But all I saw was a fading hue
