Invisible Chains
Lauren Jauregui Lyrics

I've been trapped in a cage
I have been confined and unable to escape.

Sorrow said I should stay
The feeling of deep distress and difficulty made me believe I should remain trapped.

But I found beauty in this pain
Despite the sadness and difficulty, I discovered something lovely within it.

Gave me strength to break these
The beauty within the pain helped me to find the will and perseverance to break free from my confinement.

Invisible chains
Although there were no actual restraints I still felt stuck; this emotional or mental bondage held me captive.

I don't believe in your fairytales and goals
I do not have faith or trust in the fanciful stories and objectives you convey.

Conozco la vida and She's working on my soul
I know life and its struggles, and it is having an impact on my inner essence.

This ain't over yet
The battle is not won.

Still got demons in my head, yeah, yeah
I am still grappling with the negative thoughts and feelings that plague me.

Cold, sweating in my bed, whoa
I am anxious and distressed, causing me to perspire even in bed.

Don't wanna get used to
I do not desire to become numb or accept the current circumstances permanently.

Screaming in my sleep like every night
I am consistently having distressing nightmares.

Just praying on the day when I see the light
I am holding on to hope that one day the darkness will be replaced with positivity.

'Bout hundred miles deep but I'm feeling like I'm running outta time
Although I feel completely in the depths of despair, I sense time is running out for me to change the circumstances.

Still tastin' metal It lingers on my lips
I can still taste the metallic flavor which has a continuous presence and impact on me.

I let it haunt me So I don't ever forget
I have allowed it to affect me persistently so I will not forget the pain and its associated lessons.

All of the battles I'ma walk through the fire and the shadows, yeah, yeah
I have fought many struggles, but I remain determined to confront the challenges and obstacles ahead even if they are difficult and dangerous.

Fuck around and get handled, yeah
Do not underestimate my strength and ability to handle difficult situations.

'Cause I'm not going back to
I will never return to the state I was previously trapped in.

Keep running out my way, I can see the light
I will continue to persevere without anyone blocking my path and see past the darkness.

Got a hundred miles left and I'm feeling like I might stay alive
Although I still have a long way to go, I have hope that I may survive this experience.

It's too late to save me, yeah Don't you come my way, don't pray for me 'Cause I saved myself
It is now too late for anyone to save me as I was the one who saved myself by breaking free of the invisible chains that held me back.

Already saved myself Whoa (whoa) Whoa (whoa) Whoa (whoa) Whoa Invisible chains
I have already been saved, and even though the invisible chains still remain, I am no longer constrained or held back by them.
