[Verse 1]
D
What cause have I to feel glad?

     Bb                   C
I've built my life on judgment and causing pain.

D                         Bb                      C
I don't know those eyes I see in the bloodstained chrome.

D
Now everything that I've had

    Bb                  C
and everything I've known have been thrown away.

D                          Bb                 C
And with time I've come to find this isn't my home.


[Chorus]
D                                   C                 G
I-I-I've stoked the fire, seen more pain than you can know.

Bb               A           Gm             D
The tears of the broken have washed away my soul.

D                              C                  A
Pushed by desire to change the way my stream will flow,

Bb         A             Gm          D
now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control.

Bb                                D
I try my best to block out the screams,


but they're haunting me in my dreams.

Bb
Please break my shackles,

             C
I want it to stop.

[Verse 2]
D
I man these wretched machines.

Bb                   C
Day in, day out, the grinding wears on my brain.

D                     Bb           C
Undermining my sanity, making me question my reality.

D
But life is not as it seems.

         Bb                            C
Should I take a chance at freedom and throw it all down the drain?

D                            Bb                     C
I've been imprisoned, please burn my transgressions away.



[Chorus]
D                                   C                 G
I-I-I've stoked the fire, seen more pain than you can know.

Bb               A           Gm             D
The tears of the broken have washed away my soul.

D                              C                  A
Pushed by desire to change the way my stream will flow,

Bb         A             Gm          D
now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control.

Bb                                D
I try my best to block out the screams,


but they're haunting me in my dreams.

Bb
Please break my shackles,

             C
I want it to stop.

[Chorus]
D                                   C                 G
I-I-I've stoked the fire, seen more pain than you can know.

Bb               A           Gm             D
The tears of the broken have washed away my soul.

D                              C                  A
Pushed by desire to change the way my stream will flow,

Bb         A             Gm          D
now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control.

D                            C                   G
I'm sick of hurting, sick of thinking it's all I do.

Bb            A                Gm              D
I break those around me, those spared are very few.

        D                             C               A
But the bright sun is burning, and my sky shines ever blue.

Bb          A                Gm                 D
Friendships surround me, I'm becoming a part of you.


Bb                                D
I try my best to block out the screams,


but they're haunting me in my dreams.

Bb
Please break my shackles,

             C
I want it to stop.
