[Verse 1] I bite the chains that bind me Cold iron on my teeth I learned to love the damage It carved a path for me Your name on my tongue like venom Your silence in my veins I walk through broken fixtures With thunder in my frame [Pre-Chorus] I don’t bow I don’t break I turn that cage Into a grave [Chorus] I bite the chains I bite the chains I bite the chains that hold me down The blood I bleed runs deep The blood I bleed runs deep It drags me back Then pulls me out [Verse 2] Black stain on my knuckles Rain in the sewer lines I came up from the bottom With smoke behind my eyes Your fear is in my shadow My rage is in your walls I hear the whole room shaking When my last warning falls [Pre-Chorus] I don’t bow I don’t break I turn that cage Into a grave [Chorus] I bite the chains I bite the chains I bite the chains that hold me down The blood I bleed runs deep The blood I bleed runs deep It drags me back Then pulls me out [Bridge] If I fall, I fall forward If I burn, I leave a mark I was built from the fracture I was raised in the dark [Final Chorus] I bite the chains I bite the chains I bite the chains that hold me down The blood I bleed runs deep The blood I bleed runs deep It drags me back Then pulls me out I bite the chains I bite the chains And I come through now
