Breaking Chains

**"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
