Break the chains
Number H Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And hits my open hands that hold
Absolutely nothing
And I try to take some rest
I wait for the voices in my head
To stop for a while
I can't go outside
If I don't break the chains
That I feel inside my head
If I don't break the chains
Sometimes I look into my room
And I realize that I've got
Absolutely nothing
And I know I could run away
But these voices in my head
Would come back again
I can't go outside
And leave it all behind
If I don't break the chains
That I feel inside my head
If I don't break the chains
Something that I never forget...
Something that I never believe...
If I don't break the chains
That I feel inside my head
If I don't break the chains
