Chains

I’ve been tested and tried
Hated and fried
I’ve been kicked back down
Gagged and bound
I’ve been cursed and denied
Pushed to the side
I’ve been thrown around
Lost my ground
I’d be burning with hate
Loaded with weight
I’d be taking back
Make you crack
I’d be losing my soul
Ignoring my goals
To get back at you
To get back at you
But the story played out differently
You’re building it up to tear it down
You’re trying to float but you will drown
Your hand stretches out but no one’s there
Alone with the feeling no one cares
I’ve been kicked in the face
Called a disgrace
I’ve been forced to kneel
And now it feels
Like I’ve faced anything
This world can bring
And I’m standing strong
On my own
The delusion you were stronger than me
Now the future’s here and I can finally see
You’re building it up to tear it down
You’re trying to float but you will drown
Your hand stretches out but no one’s there
Alone with the feeling no one cares
You’re building it up to tear it down
You’re trying to float but you will drown
You’re building it up to tear it down
(down)x2
You’re building it up to tear it down
