Break the Chains Lyrics by Hermitofthewoods

Land of the Lotus Eaters

2013

[Verse 1]
If there is one thing I know It’s that I won’t grow
Without your arms around me
When I had to go, there was no way to show
How much I wish you’d have come
I don’t want to get old, feeling so cold
With all these walls around me
Oh, nothing will hold, losing control
It’s come to this - I am numb
When this is all done and the songs have been sung
I’ll run through the streets to find you
I will hunt by the sun when the moon has been hung
So high in the sky that it’s blinding
Once the game has begun, If there is someone
Then I won’t try to remind you
I might die by the gun or a line that’s been strung
Maybe there’s no surviving

[Chorus]
Break the chains
Break the chains
Break the chains
Break the chains just to see your face

[Verse 2]
If there is one thing I fear it’s that I won’t hear
The sound of your voice when I need it
When I disappeared, when they interfered
I tried and I was still taken
I will count off the years andI smile through the tears
And drown in white noise when I need it
Oh, nothing will hold, losing control
It’s come to this – I am dumb
When this is all gone and the songs are all wrong
I’ll run through the pages to find you
I will turn every stone and shatter my bones
Break down my senses from trying
Once the day has done, if there is no one
Then I will try to remind you
I might live by the gun when the wars have been won
Maybe it’s all in the timing

[Chorus]
Break the chains
Break the chains
Break the chains
Break the chains just to see your face

[Bridge]
Take me down
Shut me out
Put me in the ground
With my heart still beating
I can be bound
Quiet the sound
I might never be found
But my heart will still be beating
