lyrics

You stood on the ledge
You knew you would fall
So tangled with rage and fear
What made you believe
Your choices would let you escape
You traded your soul for our tears
The monster wins again
Don’t you know it’s not your friend

It lies and it steals
And it tears you down and makes you think it’s real
It breaks and it blames
Cause it knows you’re too afraid to change
Yeah but now you’ll never be the same

When did you decide
To hurt all of us for your pain
The stain on the floor remains
They’ll say that you are
The monster that ruined the world
So I tucked your heart away
In the wake of broken lives
The monster cannot hide

It takes and it creeps
And it whispers wicked thoughts and schemes
It rips and it tears
It convinces you to take the dare
It claws and it screams
And it wakes you from your sleepless dreams
It’s your choice you're its slave
You bear the scars of its relentless chains
Don’t you know you wrapped us all in chains
Solo

Don’t you know you wrapped us all in chains
Now none of us will be the same
