Break the Chain

[Verse 1]
Clock on the wall keeps lyin'
Hands spin fast
My feet stay still
Same old town
Same dead-end promises
Same cheap talk
Same bitter pills

Ash in the sink
Bills on the table
Rust on the frame of my pride
Been draggin' these ghosts like chains behind me
Wearin' every "maybe" I tried

[Chorus]
I gotta break the chain
Cut loose from the weight I've been draggin' around
Gonna break the chain
Hear that old hurt hit the cold hard ground
I've been bent
Been burned
Been bound in my own name
But I'm done
I'm done
I'm gonna break the chain (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Your picture's still nailed in the hallway
Crooked like the way that we fell
Every word you threw hit bone not leather
Left a mark I know too well

But I'm packin' a bag
Not beggin'
Keys in my hand
Boots by the door
If the past comes back
It'll find this house empty
Find my shadow on a different floor

[Chorus]
I gotta break the chain
Cut loose from the weight I've been draggin' around
Gonna break the chain
Hear that old hurt hit the cold hard ground
I've been bent
Been burned
Been bound in my own name
But I'm done
I'm done
I'm gonna break the chain (hey)

[Bridge]
No more circles
No more same old song
If freedom's just a road
I'll walk it all night long

If thunder's what it takes
Then let this thunder roll
I'm pryin' off each link
To save my own soul (my own soul)

[Chorus]
I gotta break the chain
Cut loose from the weight I've been draggin' around
Gonna break the chain
Hear that old hurt hit the cold hard ground
I've been bent
Been burned
Been bound in my own name
But I'm done
I'm done
Yeah I'm done
I'm done
I'm gonna break the chain
