Lyric

Emotions slip right out of my mind

A sky of deepest hue reflects my soul like a mirror

I chained myself and felt content

Repeating clumsy proofs of existence

Unaware of the lies around me

I strangled my own life to survive

(Every whisper in your ear)

Love never existed—now I see it so

Sometimes it was just too much

(No escape, this love's a cage)

Lost in destructive codependency

Invisible handcuffs sway in the dark

If you want to be loved, I could have

Bound you tight

A war between angel and demon

Biting my finger to wake myself

Every breath you take, I take too—

Nothing else will ever do!

I want to break it all

If you wish, erase everything of us

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 edges of my heart swell red

Even a touch brings pain

The chains I once wore rust away

Alongside memories

Will I one day forget you too?

(Life can hit you hard, no lies)

I couldn’t even say sorry for the pain

(Can’t fake the smiles now)

Maybe even that wasn’t allowed

(Once was love, now it’s gone)

After a ruinous codependency

I hear the chains clinking… Aahh!

Every whisper could have bound us

Yet I couldn’t hold you tight

The chain’s end is torn apart

Broken moments that didn’t last

Promises I couldn’t keep

Destroy it all if you must

If you wish, erase me and these chains

Memories play like old tapes

Seen through a cloudy lens

Rewind, stop, skip the breaks—

No more ways to make amends!
