It's just an illusion, a trick, a trick of the light
What you now see is really out of sight
It's dark, it's evil, possessive and kind
Something that you give, keeps me alive

Both hands burnin', burnin' so bright tonight
And my world keeps turnin', turnin' inside out

And I can't break the chain
I've gotta break the chain
I'm trying to break the chain
God, help me break the chain
Alright

I'm winnin', I'm losin' before I start
Pull myself together as I fall apart
I'm wise, so foolish, perceptive and blind
Somethin' that kills, keeps me alive

Both ends burnin', burnin' so bright tonight
And my world keeps turnin', turnin' inside out

And I can't break the chain
I've gotta break the chain
Please help me break the chain
I wanna break the chain

Break the chain
Break the chain chain chain chain
Break the chain
Do it, do it

There's no rhyme, no reason to what I do
I just live my life before I lose
I give, I take, I throw it all away
I pick myself up and I start again

Both hands burnin', burnin' so bright tonight
And my world keeps turnin', turnin' upside out

And I can't break the chain
God, help me break the chain
I've gotta break the chain
Please help me break the chain

Break the chain
God, help me break the chain
Break the chain
God, help me break the chain

Break the chain
Break the chain
Break the chain
Break the chain
