There's not much color left here
It's all been washed away
And I think I'm showing signs of failure
Here and there
 
You see, it just hit me one day
While the clouds rolled on by
And it seems that I'm afraid to admit that I'm scared
 
And this feeling's growing stronger
I've ignored it for too long
There's only shadows of what used to be me before the storm
 
So I'll just sit with them in silence
Softly staring at their expressions
Looking for hope
Looking for the answers to my questions
But they don't know
 
They don't know
And so I'll go now
These chains are now my reason to move on
 
They're bleeding me dry
Broken down, yet still I hold them high
Reminders of what it was that made me strong
 
And it's time for something to change
I'm still indecisive as I waiver all the time
 
And it's time for something to change
Entanglement entices, they persuade me with their bad advice
 
And now
Break away
Won't let them push me to side
A chance for me to fight, so keep your faith
 
Discouraging ways
That led me blindly to the slum
Now I stand before you on my own
 
Cold and silent
Forced to make the call
 
Deciding what was best for me
And then go breaking the mold
And then go breaking the mold
 
Questioning the choice I've made
 
(Who will take control?)
 
These bruised and bleeding hands are all I have now
So let me put things back together
And just stay away
 
'Cause this will be the last time
 
And now
Break away
Won't let them push me to side
A chance for me to fight, so keep your faith
 
Discouraging ways
That led me blindly to the slum
Now I stand before you
