Break the Chain

I’m sinking with America

All smothered by my conscience and fear

I’m aching in the strangest places

Can’t feel myself with distance

I forget that there’s a world outside

Where I can be weightless in the sunlight

So many vices with me everywhere I go

And they’re serving me to the lions slowly

Baby I feel like I’m alone again

And I’m fading, I know that this is how it ends

Can you help me?

Can you promise that you will carry the pain?

Oh baby, ‘cause I feel I’ll never break the chain

And I repeat the foolish addict’s loop

The boiling over and the keeping it cool

Give me the stage, God knows my life needs staging

What the hell else should I do?

Baby I feel like I’m alone again

And I’m fading, I know that this is how it ends

Can you help me?

Can you promise that you will carry the pain?

Oh baby, ‘cause I feel I’ll never break the chain
