Verse 1
Wake up to the sound of the same old song
Alarm clock screaming, dragging me along
Tie on my mask, play the part again
Smile in the mirror, but it’s wearing thin
Pre-Chorus
Caught in a loop, like a wheel that won’t stop
Running in circles at the bottom of the top
Chorus
I’m just trying to breathe, trying to feel
In a world that forgets what’s real
Every day’s a mountain, every night’s a fight
But I still dream of wings in the dead of night
I’ve got fire in my chest and dirt on my hands
Trying to break these chains and take a stand
Verse 2
Wage for a cage, golden but cold
Sold my time, now I’m growing old
Living for the weekend, dying every week
Words in my throat, but I barely speak
Pre-Chorus
Cracks in the walls, but I see the light
One of these days I’ll climb out of this night
Chorus
I’m just trying to breathe, trying to feel
In a world that forgets what’s real
Every day’s a mountain, every night’s a fight
But I still dream of wings in the dead of night
I’ve got fire in my chest and dirt on my hands
Trying to break these chains and take a stand
Bridge
Maybe freedom ain't a place, it's a choice we make
To walk through the fear and let something break
So here I stand at the edge of the gray
One step forward, I’m breaking away
Final Chorus
I’m done just surviving, I want to live
Take back the pieces I’ve got left to give
Every day’s a mountain, but I’ve got the fight
I still dream of wings and now I see the light
With fire in my chest and dirt on my hands
I’m breaking these chains—I’ll make my stand
Outro
I’ll make my stand...
I’ll make my stand...
No more chains, just open land...
