Cut these chains

​

I'm standin' right in front of you, look at me don't turn away.

Six foot two, built like stone, still you waste another day.

Strong arms, empty drive, all that size, no fire inside.

Tell me why I'm even here listenin' to you drown in fear.

 

Pre-Chorus

I'm not your fix, I'm not your cure. I won't stay stuck in what you are.

 

Chorus

I cut these chains — I'm done.

I cut these chains — move on.

I cut these chains — not my grave.

I cut these chains — goodbye.

 

Same damn couch, same dead stare, TV glow, heavy air.

You call it calm, you call it peace, I call it rot that doesn't breathe.

You don't fight, you don't fall, you just hide behind the wall.

That's your world, that's your pace, but I won't die in that place.

 

Pre-Chorus

Where I'm goin'? Not with you.

This ain't love — this is through.

 

(Chorus)

 

Bridge

Tall don't mean brave, strong don't mean true.

You never broke — you never moved.

You call it waitin', call it fate, I call it livin' way too late.

I cut these chains — right now.

 

 

Chorus

I cut these chains — no doubt

I cut these chains — no doubt

I cut these chains — hear me say your life stays yours —

I walk away

Chains cut. Door shuts. I'm gone.
