Chained

I’m sitting in this dark room

3 A.M. on a Friday night

It’s so hard to fall asleep

With all these thoughts

Racing through my mind

They're chained to my memories

Like demons passing in the night They take

me to places where I don't want to know about Cause when

I try to find some peace

They work their way back cause they're

Chained to my memories

I see a young man

when I close my eyes

Who has it going perfectly

He has the life

I can only dream of And the more I see him in

these dreams

I swear that he's me

in an alternate life But I know

I have to rise up to face the truth

I am trapped here on this island in my mind

With thoughts of inadequacy

That do nothing but hold me back from letting go

(holding me back...)

They're chained to my memories

Like demons passing in the night They take me to places where

I don't want to know

about Cause when I try to find some peace

They work their way back cause they're

Chained to my memories

Oh someday I'll be free from these insecurities

That are chained to my memories

I just want to

break these

chains Break these chains from

my memories
