Woman In Chains

When you hear that bass in the background, Just know that it’s my heartbeat breaking through. I hear those chains around your ankles as you try to walk. Trying to break through to something else that is real. What is it that you’re searching for in the middle of the night? Is it for a better life? Is it for the freedom you’re so endlessly trying to find? Listen to the music and the beat inside your soul. You keep listening to these words that end up leaving you in these chains. Don’t you know that you have the keys to the things that are holding you back? Just listen to your soul and your heart. You’ll unlock those rusted chains that have been holding you back for centuries. Soon you’ll realize you were free all along with the light inside of you. I’ll help you break those chains if you just listen to my heartbeat in the music I provide you. They’ll come undone and fall to the ground. Leaving behind something that was once in the past, held down by lies that society has created. Listen to the truth inside you, you know deep down you carry these keys to your freedom. The energy and vibrations that cannot contain us. Continue to shine your light through and love what is the best parts of you. You’ll be free from it all, Just listen to me inside that cage you’ve created.
