I walk the line of broken dreams
Each step echoes silent screams
The shadows crawl inside my head
Old regrets I thought were dead

Mirror shows a face I hate
Stuck inside a rusted fate
No escape, no second skin
The war I fight is deep within

I'm trapped inside these chains within
Locked down by what I've always been
My past won't die, it grips too tight
I scream for peace in endless night
I need release, I need to burn
These ghosts won't let me ever turn

Nights are long with bitter cries
Haunted by my own disguise
Every memory cuts like glass
Bleeding through my present mask

Hope is fading, breath runs thin
Tearing at this cursed skin
Freedom calls, but I can't hear
The silence feeds my darkest fear

I'm trapped inside these chains within
Locked down by what I've always been
My past won't die, it grips too tight
I scream for peace in endless night
I need release, I need to burn
These ghosts won't let me ever turn

Break me, crush me, tear me free
The pain is all that comforts me
But deep below this shattered shell
A voice still fights against the hell

I'm breaking out of chains within
No longer bound by what has been
My past still roars, but I ignite
A fire born from endless night
I rise in flames, I rise to live
My soul is mine, I won't forgive
