Break these chains

I been runnin’ from myself, tryna numb the pain,

Chasin’ highs just to hide from the rain.

But every mirror shows the truth I can't escape,

Tonight, I fight—this cycle breaks.

Used to wake up in a haze, couldn’t face the day,

Do some drugs, take a sip, let my demons stay.

Thought I had control, but it slipped through my hands,

Told myself “just one more,” but it’s never how it stands.

I lost friends, lost time, lost pieces of my soul,

Tried to fill the void, but that bottle left me cold.

Momma cried, said she ain’t recognize her son,

Looked her in the eyes, said, “I swear, I’m almost done.”

But the mirror never lies, and the scars tell the truth,

I been drownin’ in the dark, time to break through.

I gotta break these chains, I gotta find my way,

I won’t be a prisoner to my yesterdays.

I know it’s hard, but I won’t let it win,

I gotta fight ‘til I breathe free again.

Every night was the same, tryna silence the noise,

But the silence always spoke, left me with no choice.

Saw my brother go down, saw my sister fade too,

And I knew if I ain’t change, I’ma be gone soon.

I been prayin’ in the dark, hopin’ someone hear,

Tryna make it through the storm, drownin’ in my fear.

But I see a little light, yeah, it’s faint but it’s there,

And I swear I’ma reach it, no matter how scared.

I ain’t perfect, I been breakin’, I been fallin’ apart,

But every wound that I carry is a map to restart.

I know the battle ain't easy, I know the nights feel long,

But if you hear me right now—just hold on.

One step, one breath, one prayer at a time,

Ain’t lookin’ at the past, got my eyes on the climb.

Yeah, the pain still lingers, but it don’t hold the key,

I been fightin’ my reflection, now it fights for me.

No more drownin’ in regret, no more runnin’ from the truth,

Every scar on my skin is a sign that I grew.

So I stand here today, broken but free,

If I made it this far, then there’s hope left for me.

I gotta break these chains, I gotta find my way,

I won’t be a prisoner to my yesterdays.

I know it’s hard, but I won’t let it win,

I gotta fight ‘til I breathe free again.

No more chains... No more pain...

I'm free.
