Reverse Chains of the Suffered

Shame me hit me with chains 

Train me how to feel sane

Tame me if you think that you can

Hate me if  do you wrong

Treat me like another worthless life

Beat me just as I am use to

Make me scared to come outside

Fake me tell me I am with it

Then throw failure in my face thinking I can take it

Show me how disgusting the world truly is

Don't forget to lock the cage at night

Because I'm waiting for it

Waiting for it so I can take these chains

Wrap them around you and tie you down

Keep you binded down and leave you there

While you watch me laughing at you

Now you can take it cor you dished it out

Can't hear a word you say with a dishrag in your mouth

Then I'll leave you where you're sitting

And walk out as you watch me walk away

No words will be spoken for the next ones you try to break in
