In Chains

I can’t press rewind, can’t change my mind, time has already spoken. The shadows won’t tell, won’t break this spell, I can’t fix what is broken. //I boxed my heart and taped it shut, put plasters over every cut, started running through the rain, just to find myself in chains.// //Forbidden pulses start to kick, babe, you know you make me sick, I started at the stairs again, just to find myself in chains.// I’ve tried to grow, to take it slow, ignored the gaping hole. But couldn’t hide, empty inside, just a talking doll. //Thought by painting the pictures black, our love wouldn’t come circling back, turns out it’s winged, feathers of pain, just to find myself in chains.// //Melted the memories, froze the heat, couldn’t make myself complete, I poured each teardrop down the drain, just to find myself in chains.//
