Breaking Away Lyrics by Work In Progress

Growing Pains

2024

[Verse 1]
There’s a faucet with a leak upstairs
In the house that we were raised in
It showers down convictions
Based on paths we have not taken
And as the water slowly floods
This place we once called home
You start to see the damage done
By things often unknown
And the stream the water forms
It’s always keeping me awake
It starts to be the norm
It’s always give and never take
It’s par for your course of pain
To never have rеlief
But there’s no answеr
For why this pain
Has to flow to me

[Verse 2]
There’s someone weeping
In the summer swelter of your words
They feel the same as you once did
They feel just as unheard
The irony is clear to all who see
With your exception
‘Cause in your mind, the ones you love
Have no chance of redemption

[Verse 3]
Mmm, this is the end
Your exodus has come
Your course is almost run
There’s no battle to be won

[Bridge]
This is the end
Of the tyrants in my brain
The barbaric price I pay
For this mess that you have made
It’s the end
Of you legacy of pain
To these prison bars of rage
It’s my time to be uncaged
So I’m breaking out, breaking in
And taking out your firing pin
This life that started growing dull
Is better when without your toll
So I’m breaking out and shaping in
The freedom that there should’ve been
‘Cause now I know the truth
And I’m breaking away from you
