My Chains Are Gone

It's such a broken life. It's so hard to fight. When all you've fought for is not real. How to deal with it. Is to sit in it. You can't even feel. I need some time to think. I need my one last drink. And maybe it will all be a dream. When I wake from this. Not one thing I'll miss. I'll bring silence to the scream. It's time to stand up. I need to get free. The life that I've had. Has control over me. I need to be strong and I need my faith. I can't let the things I've seen. Put me to shame. When all is for none. When we've all had our fun. We don't seem to see te damage done. Now we know our fears. And it's not all clear. But we seem to think that we're the only one. Can't we breathe again. Can't we see again. That this is not how it should be. Can we find a place. Full of peace and grace. And then truly be free It's time to stand up. We need to get free. The life i had has control over me. We need to be strong and we need our faith we can't let the thing we've seen put us to shame. So just live your life, with love and sacrifice. Don't let te dark come in. You must find your peace. And let your soul be released. And then you can truly win So its time to stand up. you need to be free. the life I've had, had control over me. We need to be strong and we need our faith. We can't let the things we've seen. Put us to shame. Now to see the truth. Is what I need from you. And then we can live our life again.
