Fading Chains from Screaming Silence by snowrend

Fading Chains

I’ve been walking through the noise inside my head
The weight of every word you said
Trying to be the shape you drew
But every line just breaks in two


Your shadow pulls me under again
I’m drowning in who I’ve been


Fading chains, I’m breaking through
Tired of chasing the version of you
Can’t keep pretending I’m not alive
This time I’m taking back my light
Fading chains, I’m coming clean
I’ll find the strength to just be me


You built a cage with your perfect view
And I forgot what I could do
Every breath I take feels out of place
Like I’m a ghost behind my own face


I’m done with trying to fit your mold
I’m burning out, but I won’t fold


Fading chains, I’m breaking through
Tired of chasing the version of you
Can’t keep pretending I’m not alive
This time I’m taking back my light
Fading chains, I’m coming clean
I’ll find the strength to just be me


And if I fall, I’ll fall as I am
Not as a shadow of your plan
I’ve bled enough to see the truth
I was never meant to be like you


Fading chains, I’m breaking through
Tired of chasing the version of you
Can’t keep pretending I’m not alive
This time I’m taking back my light
Fading chains, I’m finally free
I’m done pretending — I’ll just be me


Just be me…
Fading chains…
I’ll just be me.
