Chainbreaker Lyrics by Faintheart

The Overview Effect

2018

[Verse 1]
Living with the lights on
Doesn't mean the dark's gone
The sun's just away for shadows to be made
The sickness in my ears is how I lived for years
Just gotta try harder to make myself better

[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta fight through the madness
And sift through the sadness
Get to the greener side of things
'Cause if you can't stop the bleeding
(You gotta fight)
The walls won't stop screaming
(You gotta fight)
And this is how it's gotta be

[Chorus]
Wake, eat, sleep, repeat
Am I nothing more than a machine?
A slave to the routine
Wake, eat, sleep, repeat

[Verse 2]
The chemicals kick in
Keeping my blood thin
It's a fight to feel alive with all this wasted time
I can't stand the skin, this shadow I'm in
Is it my time?
Is time just a gift?

[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta fight through the madness
And sift through the sadness
Get to the greener side of things
'Cause if you can't stop the bleeding
(You gotta fight)
The walls won't stop screaming
(You gotta fight)
And this is how it's gotta be

[Chorus]
Wake, eat, sleep, repeat
Am I nothing more than a machine?
A slave to the routine
Wake, eat, sleep, repeat

[Bridge]
Oh, God, have you been sleeping?
How could you not be seeing
The tears in the eyes of my mother
As she wishes I was better?
In medicating our family's history
Oh, she's so sorry
For passing that on to me
