Empty Chains

[8 bar Intro] [Verse 1] Your desperate fingers clawed at air ("I'll change...") As I finally walked away from there Your promises turned to distant screams (Don't leave me...) Echoing through my waking dreams [Build up] I can still hear your voice break Begging me to stay But your love was like poison And I chose to walk away (I chose to walk away) [Chorus] Now your chains lie empty on the floor Where you held me down before And your tears mean nothing anymore As I close that final door The silence feels like liberty No more drowning in your needs Your desperation set me free Set me free [Instrumental medley] [Verse 2] Your messages fade into the void Where your manipulation once destroyed Every piece of who I used to be Before your love turned to toxicity [build up 2] I can still hear you crying Down on bended knee (I'll die without you...) But your love was my prison And I fought to break free (I fought to break free) [Chorus] Now your chains lie empty on the floor Where you held me down before And your tears mean nothing anymore As I close that final door The silence feels like liberty No more drowning in your needs Your desperation set me free Set me free [Bridge] Sometimes at night I hear you call ("I need you...") Through the shadows of it all Your voice grows weaker day by day As I learn to walk away [Build-up and drop] [Final Chorus] Now your chains lie empty on the floor Where you held me down before And your tears mean nothing anymore As I close that final door The silence feels like liberty No more drowning in your needs Your desperation set me free Set me free [Outro] [Whispered echoes fading] ("Please don't leave me...") ("I'll change...") ("I need you...") [Distorted and dissolving into silence]
