**"Breaking Chains"**  
*(Hardcore/Metalcore)*

**[Intro]**  
Chains are breaking  
Chains are breaking  
(Snap) snap  
(Snap) snap  
breaking chains
Chains are breaking
---
**[Chorus]**  
Falling, falling—I’m breaking through  
Sinking, sinking—because of you  
Bound and bleeding—but I can’t stay  
I’ll tear these chains and walk away  
A lie, a lie—you lived in vain  
A lie, a lie—your crimson chains  
Now watch me burn it all away  
---
**[Verse 1]**  
You held me down  
With words like knives  
You held me down  
And drained my life  
Every wound you gave  
Every scar you made  
Was a weight I bore  
But I’m not yours anymore  
Your lies, your lies—they fall apart  
Your lies, your lies—they break my heart  
But I’m not your prisoner anymore!  
---
**[Chorus]**  
Falling, falling—I’m breaking through  
Sinking, sinking—because of you  
Bound and bleeding—but I can’t stay  
I’ll tear these chains and walk away  
A lie, a lie—you lived in vain  
A lie, a lie—your crimson chains  
Now watch me burn it all away  
---
**[Verse 2]**  
I see you now  
For what you are  
A fading ember  
A dying star  
You thought you broke me  
You thought I’d stay  
But I’m rising up  
And I’m walking away  
Your crimson chains—they’re rusting now  
Your crimson chains—I don’t know how  
I ever let you drag me down  
---
**[Bridge]**  
Rust and blood, they stain the ground  
Your chains are gone, but I hear the sound  
Of every promise you ever broke  
Now it’s my turn to watch you choke  
A lie, a lie—you shattered me  
But now I’m free, now I’m free  
---
**[Chorus]**  
Falling, falling—I’m breaking through  
Sinking, sinking—because of you  
Bound and bleeding—but I can’t stay  
I’ll tear these chains and walk away  
A lie, a lie—you lived in vain  
A lie, a lie—your crimson chains  
Now watch me burn it all away  
---
**[Outro]**  
Chains are broken  
Chains are gone  
And I’m free  
I’m free  
No more crimson chains on me
