lyrics

I'm only a slave
To my grave, I'm marching in
Thinking honestly, I cant believe
This time I'm giving in
I'm only afraid
Of losing everything I've gained
Thinking honestly, its time for me
To fight for my own name

Here I thought I was strong enough to handle this
But I never really thought that I'd be here today
Staring at the frame
Of a love now lost
I'm left picking up the pieces of glass on the floor

So I'll break these chains
Let go of everything
That holds me down
Cause you were quick to point the gun to my head
Turned around and then ran off with them instead
Am I wrong at all to say?
That I'm not okay

I need a minute, give me time to rest my head
Because I'm tired of these pictures
Of what could've been
And now I am a shell of a man
Still picking up the pieces

Can we talk about the way that you just set me off?

With my back against the wall
I'm ready to hit the ground
And I'm about to lose at all
I'm ready to hit the ground

And here I thought I was strong enough to handle this
But I never really thought that I'd be here today
Staring at the frame

So I'll break these chains
Let go of everything that holds me down
You just took the gun
And matched your anger towards the world
Am I wrong at all to say?
I'm not okay
