Chained Decay

Dawn cracks like a whip Soul chained to the grind Bottle whispers lies Endless void unwind Alarm at six, sharp as knives Mouth like rust, breath of graves Suit on a hanger, noose in disguise Heart in the dust, buried in waves Clock-in beeps, drone of the damned Bleed for the boss, give your all Fists clenched tight, dreams turned to sand Walls closing in, ready to fall Chained decay I’m chained to this check Chained decay Spine bent Spirit wrecked Chained decay They count while I decay Chained decay Sell my days away Emails scream like banshee cries Red numbers climb, debt's cruel tide Manager’s stare, cold as ice lies Performance review, swallow your pride My kid needs shoes, hunger in eyes Rent eats my mind, no place to hide Pills in my pocket, temporary high Numb the fire, just to survive Chained decay I’m chained to this check Chained decay Spine bent Spirit wrecked Chained decay They count while I decay Chained decay Sell my days away Bottle by bed, poison embrace Dinner is foam, empty plate chase You slam the door, echoes of rage Call this a ghost home, love's final stage I slur my vows, words lost in haze Into a dead phone tone, silence betrays Veins burn with fire, night's endless cage Family fractures, price I can't gauge Shattered mirrors, blood on the floor Whispers of freedom, locked behind doors Drown in the chaos, no escape anymore Hands start to shake, body's revolt Liver fights back, scars from the jolt Your eyes are storms, thunder in glance Suitcase half-packed, end of the dance I pour one more, liquid deceit To fill what I lack, admit defeat Dreams rot away, buried in sleet Cycle repeats, no mercy, no heat Chained decay I’m chained to this check Chained decay Spine bent Spirit wrecked Chained decay They count while I decay Chained decay Sell my days away Fade to black, endless night Bottle empty, no more fight Chains tighten, soul takes flight Decay claims the light
