Break This Chain

Opening with crisp acoustic guitar riffs and steady drums, male vocals enter with a subdued, intimate tone, The arrangement builds as electric guitar layers and dynamic drums drive the energetic choruses, while stripped-back verses create contrast, A guitar solo bridges to a vibrant outro

[Verse 1] We were just kids You were my friend Cartoons on mute Door clicked again Said it was secret Said it was “us” Skin turned to concrete Heart turned to dust [Verse 2] Years on a screen Hands on a mouse Searching that sickness In a dark Locked house Thought I was looking For what you stole Just dug the hole deeper ’Til it swallowed my soul [Chorus] My world fell down Every broken piece around me Family eyes Looking at me like I’m the enemy I stand in the ruins Ash in my lungs Still I’m choosing To break this chain I’ll bleed I’ll crawl I’ll change For my kids I’ll break this chain [Verse 3] Therapist questions I choke on the words “How could you do that?” I echo what I’ve heard No one to lean on So I learned to stand Empty refrigerator Shaking hands New plan [Pre-Chorus] I’m not that child I’m not that crime I am the father Who fights for his kids I hold their nightmares Like fragile glass Swear on my heartbeat This curse stops at me [Chorus] My world fell down Every broken piece around me Family eyes Looking at me like I’m the enemy I stand in the ruins Ash in my lungs Still I’m choosing To break this chain I’ll bleed I’ll crawl I’ll change For my kids I’ll break this chain [Bridge] I delete I confess I sit in my mess (oh God) I shake and I shake But I don’t run I am more than my worst More than what you rehearsed In my body In my brain I can still choose the sun [Chorus] When my world falls down And every broken piece surrounds me I see their eyes Trusting I’ll be who they believe I stand in the ruins Ash in my lungs Still I’m choosing To break this chain I’ll bleed I’ll crawl I’ll change For my kids I’ll break this chain For my kids I’ll break this chain
