Chains

歌詞

Midnight I stare out the window from my room I hear the dogs it's going to be dawn soon I wonder where you are In my mind's eye I'm floating alone in the night sky The treetops, the buildings beneath me I feel my heart beating So I try to find anything To kill the time To quiet my mind There's got to be something There's got to be someone Else still awake in this city I can't take another night I can't stay I've got to break and break and break These chains away, away Bars close We stumble around through the echoes Hiding our past in some old clothes Like its some dirty secret And I see a face In the passing light It's so good tonight I'm tired of putting up this fight There's got to be somewhere There's got to be someone Else still alive in this city I can't hide another night I can't stay I've got to break and break and break These chains away, away These chains away, away We lean into the wind Riding our nerves and choking engines Built for a time not 50 years old I can hear the whispering at the door When I'm alone in this cell With 10,000 words and nowhere to go And I wish you could know How much I still need you The spell of this town, the graves on the hill Lit up like a crown The names on the signs I can't even say Have to break and break and break These chains away, away These chains away, away Sometimes I feel the pain At the heart of this ember All these ashes I choke on Does anyone remember Where we came from, where we came to A place with no center and no edge And no end
