Chains

[Verse 1]
Feet glued to the carpet
Clock moves, I’m still stuck
Whole world on a fast track
I’m nailed down by mistrust 
Mind runs marathons my Body won’t take one step
Every “go get it” quote
Just tightens this regret
Try to scream “help me”
But my jaw just stays shut
Thoughts pound on the ceiling
Throat blocked by rocks
Eyes say everything
But nobody reads
I’m drowning in a crowd
And it’s quiet when I bleed
[Chorus]
Got these chains on my wrists, got a cage on my chest
And I’m stuck in place while I’m trying my best
I’m fighting every day just to move one inch
Every breath feel tight, every thought feel tense
Got these chains on my wrists, got a cage on my chest
If I break one link, I’ll escape this mess
I’m screaming to the sky, but it just sounds like stress
Still I push, still I push, yeah, I try to progress (nah)
[Verse 2]
But my Heart is locked
Key lost, deep in my past
Every time I reach for it
My own hands pull back
Voices in my head say
“Stay here, don’t go
Friends say “you can do it”
They don’t see this chokehold
I Stare at the door like
“Why you look so far?”
It’s ten small steps
But it feel like Mars
Tears on my tongue
I can taste that pain I try to speak but 
Words won’t form
So I write my name a 100 times i keep thinking that something may change but 
[Chorus]
I Got these chains on my wrists, got a cage on my heart 
And I’m stuck in place while I’m trying my best
I’m fighting every day just to move one step but 
Every breath feels tight, every thought feel tense
Got these chains on my wrists, got a cage on my chest
If I break one link, I’ll escape this mess
I’m screaming to the sky, but it sounds like stress
Still I push, still I push, yeah, I won’t regress but (still I push)
