Lyric

Emotions fall, slipping from my mind

The sky in muted colors reflects my heart like a mirror

I tied myself with chains

And called it satisfaction

Repeating clumsy proofs

Blind to the lies around me

I lived with a tightening noose

(Every whisper in your ear)

Love never existed, now I know

Sometimes it’s unbearably close…

(No escape, this love’s a cage)

In this destructive co-dependence

(Codependency)

Invisible handcuffs sway

If you want love, that’s enough

I could bind you with it too

Angels and demons clash inside

Biting my middle finger, I come back to myself

(Every breath you take, mine too)

(Nothing else will ever do!)

All of it… I want to break it

Ah, if you wish, erase everything—

Me, you, everything!

(No escape, this love’s a cage)

(Locked within this tender rage)

(Hold me close, don’t set me free)

(In your heart I long to be!)

The outside of my heart is red and swollen

Even a touch brings pain

The chains that were undone

Rust along with my fading memories

Will I ever forget you too?

(Life can hit you hard, no lies)

I hurt you, couldn’t even say sorry

(Can’t fake the smiles now)

Maybe I wasn’t even allowed that…

(Once was love, now it’s gone)

(Once was love, now it’s the last)

(Promises I couldn’t keep)

All of it… I want to break

If you wanted love, that’s enough

I could have bound you with it

But I couldn’t hold you close

The chain’s end has already snapped

(Broken moments that didn’t last)

(Promises that I couldn’t keep!)

All of it… I want to break

Ah, if you wish, erase me

Along with these handcuffs!

(Memories play like old tapes)

(Seen through a cloudy lens)

(Rewind, stop, but skip the breaks)

(No more means to make amends!)
