(Intro – Clean electric guitar with ambient piano pads, slow and haunting)
⸻
[Verse 1 – Moody, restrained]
You drew the lines I had to walk
A quiet cage inside your talk
Your silver tongue rewrote my name
A gentle lie that masked the game
You painted storms across my sky
I wore the rain to keep you dry
Your shadow lived beneath my skin
You called it love — I called it sin
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Tension builds, low toms & bass]
I kept bleeding just to feel
You built a throne on what was real
But every promise cracked beneath the strain
⸻
[Chorus – Full band, heavy modern rock riff, dark atmosphere]
Glass chains wrapped tight around my mind
Shattered now, I left you far behind
Your halo’s rusted, your kingdom’s fake
I watched it fall, I watched it break
Your voice can’t haunt me in this light
I’m done with losing every fight
Glass chains — they cut, then fade away
I’m not your prey
⸻
[Verse 2 – Gritty, low-end guitars with space between vocals]
You set the rules like loaded dice
I played your game, I paid the price
The walls you built were paper thin
But I believed and stepped right in
Now I see your crown’s a lie
A fragile mask you can’t deny
Your venom dripped in lullabies
I woke to find the truth inside
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Builds again]
The grip you had begins to slip
Your empire burns at the fingertips
The smoke reveals the scars you left on me
⸻
[Chorus – Heavier, screamed backing vocals layered with clean lead]
Glass chains wrapped tight around my mind
Shattered now, I left you far behind
Your halo’s rusted, your kingdom’s fake
I watched it fall, I watched it break
Your voice can’t haunt me in this light
I’m done with losing every fight
Glass chains — they cut, then fade away
I’m not your prey
⸻
[Bridge – Dark breakdown, syncopated guitars, half-screamed vocals]
“You fed on fear, you called it love
I wore the blade, I bled enough
The silence screamed, the cracks were shown
I took the pain — I made it my throne”
(Instrumental punch — chugging guitars, drums hit hard, then drop out suddenly to ambient)
⸻
[Final Chorus – Anthemic, dark but empowering]
Glass chains wrapped tight around my mind
Shattered now, I left you far behind
Your halo’s rusted, your kingdom’s fake
I watched it fall, I watched it break
Your voice can’t haunt me in this light
I’m done with losing every fight
Glass chains — they cut, then fade away
I’m not your prey
⸻
[Outro – Ambient guitars & piano fade out, whispered vocal]
“Glass chains… gone.”
