Heavy Chain Lyrics

They told me what was right, what was wrong,

They drew the lines where I belong.

Fed me stories carved in stone,

But left me questioning alone.

And I tried to believe, I tried to obey,

But the weight of the words never washed away.

Do you really wanna be like them?

(Trapped in a life that's not my own.)

Do you really wanna fake it again?

(Wearing a mask that feels so cold.)

Tied to the past like a HEAVY CHAIN,

(But I refuse to bear the weight.)

Running in circles, calling it FATE,

(I'll break the cycle, choose my way.)

They said that fear would keep me safe,

That heaven watches every place.

But I saw the faithful build their walls,

Preaching love while letting others fall.

And I tried to believe, I tried to obey,

But the weight of the words never washed away.

Do you really wanna be like them?

(Trapped in a life that's not my own.)

Do you really wanna fake it again?

(Wearing a mask that feels so cold.)

Tied to the past like a HEAVY CHAIN,

(But I refuse to bear the weight.)

Running in circles, calling it FATE,

(I'll break the cycle, choose my way.)

I traced the cracks and found my way,

Through all the noise, through all the grey.

No, I won't be like you at all.

I WON'T BE LIKE YOU AT ALL.

Do you really wanna be like them?

(Do you really wanna fake it again?)

Do you really wanna be like them?

(Do you really wanna fake it again?)
