Chains that Bind

Verse 1]

You’re drowning in the silence

Waiting for a hand to bleed

To drag you from the wreckage

Of the chains you couldn’t leave

You beg for mercy

Shaking hard, now here it comes

He don’t shine like any savior

But he spits silver spoon burning tongues

Like the lies you used to swallow when you were young

Can we climb this mountain?

I don’t know

But the night keeps calling, getting louder, cutting through the cold

Hold on, hold tight, don’t let it go

We were made to break — my God, don’t I know

We’re tearing through the skyline, chasing what we can’t control

Living in the echoes

Since you were young

Since you were young

You bite down on the memories

Of a house that turned to dust

Every street is painted over

With the blood of broken trust

They say the poison heals you

But you’re choking on the taste

Still you drink it just to feel it

’Cause we can’t let this pain go to waste

Can we climb this mountain?

I don’t know

But the night keeps calling, getting louder, cutting through the cold

Hold on, hold tight, don’t let it go

We were made to break — my God, don’t I know

We’re tearing through the skyline, chasing what we can’t control

Living in the our song

Since you were young

Since you were young

Your shadow’s in the ruins

Of a war you never chose

Every promise turned to shrapnel

Every truth a broken nose

But your heartbeat won’t surrender

Even when the light is gone

Every scar becomes a weapon

Every scream becomes a song

You’re drowning in the silence

Waiting for a hand to bleed

To drag you from the wreckage

Of the chains you wouldn’t leave

Hold your mercy

Hold your rage, now here it comes

He don’t shine like any savior

But he spits silver spoon burning tongues

Like the lies you used to swallow when you were young

The mountain doesn’t kill you

But it steals you every time

I see you in the darkness

Bleeding for the climb

Can we climb this mountain?

I don’t know

But the night keeps calling, getting louder, cutting through the cold

Hold on, hold tight, don’t let it go

We were made to break — my God, don’t I know

We’re tearing through the skyline, chasing what we can’t control

Living in our song

Since you were young

Since you were young

(Voices in the echoes, crying when you were young)

Since you were young

Since you were young
