Lyrics

It's just an illusion, a trick, a trick of the light

What you now see is really out of sight

It's dark, it's evil, possessive and kind

Something that you give me keeps me alive

Both hands burnin', burnin' so bright tonight

And my world keeps turnin', turnin' inside out

And I can't break the chain

I gotta break the chain

I'm tryna break the chain

God, help me break the chain

Alright

I'm winnin', I'm losin' before I start

Pull myself together as I fall apart

I'm wise, so foolish, perceptive and blind

Somethin' that kills, keeps me alive

Both ends burnin', burnin' so bright tonight

My world keeps turnin', turnin' inside out

And I can't break the chain

I gotta break the chain

Please help me break the chain

I wanna break the chain

Break the chain (chain, chain, chain)

Break the chain, chain, chain, chain

Break the chain

Do it, do it

There's no rhyme, no reason to what I do

I just live my life before I lose

I give, I take, I throw it all away

I pick myself up and I start again

Both ends burnin', burnin' so bright tonight

My world keeps turnin', turnin' upside out

And I can't break the chain

God, help me break the chain

I've gotta break the chain

Please help me break the chain

Break the chain

God, help me break the chain

Break the chain

God, help me break the chain

Woah, woah, woah

Break the chain, woah, woah, woah

Break the chain, woah, woah, woah

Break the chain, woah, woah, woah

Break the chain...
