Break Away Lyrics by Staind

The Illusion of Progress

2008

[Verse 1]
Misery
The company it keeps
History
All these things we keep repeating

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a wheel
Oh, that keeps turning

[Chorus]
If I could break away
From this moment
Break away
What is real
So, break away
Never show it
Break away
How I feel
If I could break away

[Verse 2]
Apathy
The ignorance it breeds
The tragedy
Of all these things we keep repeating

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a wheel
That keeps turning

[Chorus]
If I could break away
From this moment
Break away
What is real
So, break away
Never show it
Break away
How I feel
If I could break away

[Bridge]
Break away
If I could break away
To break away

[Chorus]
If I could break away
From this moment
Break away
What is real
So, break away
Never show it
Break away
How I feel
If I could break away

[Outro]
If I could break away
If I could break away
