lyrics

[Verse]
Don't sit inside a dream
Don't seek what you don't need
Don't play it safe until your day arrives

It might weigh on your mind
You might still be behind
But this pain is what it means to be alive


[Pre-chorus]
Give me a reason
It's getting late
Your clock's not sleeping
Are you awake?


[Chorus]
Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Your life's a fight that never ends
So break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!)
If you're not failing then you'll never win

Now you've laid eyes on the outside


[Verse]
Life is happening now
But you're still stuck on the ground
If you let Armageddon take you
You'll still be around, left in the dust

No one's gonna hold your hand (so keep moving)
And no one's gonna understand (so keep moving)
'Cause winning is a life-long plan (so keep moving)
And rivers don't remember old dams!


[Pre-chorus]
Give me an answer
Don't waste away
This world is changing
We cannot stay


[Chorus]
Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Your life's a fight that never ends
So break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off your chain! (I'm not a slave!)
If you're not failing then you'll never win

Now you've advanced to the outside


​[Breakdown]
I am
Your hopeless urge
Your weaknesses
Everything that you are!!
(Just get away from me)
(Just get away from me)
Feed me
Your energy
Every single day
Until the end of time!!
(Just get away from me)
(Just get away)

​Broken
And bolted to the grind
The pressure
Has preyed upon your mind
So get up
Just try again
Don't let it win
I don't care if it's hurting
Right now
Don't put it off
No matter what
Last chance to take control!

(JUST GET AWAY!!)


[Bridge]
I crossed out the line
And inherently flawed design
I replaced it with mine
'Cause I plan to amount this time


[Guitar solo: Leyland Reid]


[Bridge]
Cast doubt to the fray
Live your life in your own way
Ignore all that they say
And try living today


[Guitar solo: X]


[Post-verse]
Harder
It only becomes harder
It dares you to push farther
Until you accept it you're hurting yourself
Faster
In time it'll come to you faster
As long as you're the adapter
Are you gonna give up now?
HELL NO!
Fight
'Cause you've come too far
To watch it go
Spiraling out of control
You are the reaper
You are the gate keeper
Is there anything else
You'd rather do?!


[Post-pre-chorus]
It's in your hands
It's in your hands now
It's in your hands
Don't let it go


​[Chorus]
Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Break off the chain! (I'm not a slave!)
Do it yourself!
