[Verse 1]
I wake with the same old chain
Palm on fire, I know the name
I reach for what will tear me down
Then hate the man I’ve let hang around
I say I’m done, then I’m back again
Two voices fighting under my skin
What I want, I do not do
Lord, I’m split in two
[Pre-Chorus]
I cannot save myself
I need a stronger hand
My will keeps breaking
Like sand
[Chorus]
Break these chains
Tear them off
Set me free from who I was
Break these chains
Pull me out
From the weight I can’t outrun
I can’t carry all this pain
I can’t wash away these stains
If Your mercy still remains
Jesus, break these chains
⸻
[Verse 2]
I’ve fed this fire with my own breath
Called it comfort, called it death
My hands know where the failure hides
Same old bottle, same old lies
But You see the war I cannot win
You see the place I keep giving in
If I fall, You still remain
You call me out by name
[Pre-Chorus]
I cannot save myself
I need a stronger hand
My will keeps breaking
Like sand
[Chorus]
Break these chains
Tear them off
Set me free from who I was
Break these chains
Pull me out
From the weight I can’t outrun
I can’t carry all this pain
I can’t wash away these stains
If Your mercy still remains
Jesus, break these chains
⸻
[Lift / Turnaround] (short, no drag — builds tension)
I’m done running
I’m done hiding
No more fighting on my own
⸻
[Final Chorus – Bigger / Surrender]
Break these chains
Tear them off
Set me free from who I was
Break these chains
Pull me out
From the weight I can’t outrun
I can’t carry all this pain
I can’t wash away these stains
If Your mercy still remains
Jesus, break these chains
