Break My Chains

Walking through the fire

I knew I was weak, I suffered

Wading through the mire

My life felt so bleak and draining

Every word, every shot aimed to stain me

I died every day, I withered away

No escape, felt like no one could save me

But I will not fall, I will burn it all 

Inside of my prison walls

I’ve wept and I’ve crawled

I will burn it all 

And I won’t die here

I won’t be falling 

I won’t be crying over you

I’ll carry on, I’ll grow stronger 

I won’t be crawling  

I won’t be dying over you

I’ll overcome all my fears

I’ll break my chains

And I won’t die here

Faded, but undying

Years flew and my heart grew harder

More than just surviving

I’m vibrant, I’m strong, I’m breathing 

Every tear, every wound meant to shape me

I’m not here to fall, I’m not here to fade

No retreat, there’s no force that could break me

No surrender and I won’t die here
