Breaking Chains: A Journey Beyond Pain
Lyrics
What's the city look like from your new bedroom window?

Do you think you see your ex-lover driving by real slow?
Asking if the person observes their past lover slowly passing by, possibly invoking mixed emotions.
Does it make you feel uneasy, does it tickle your ego?

Would you look at me and say it's really not that simple?

Yeah I know

I turned on the TV and saw my own face

From a hospital bed, did you see me, babe?

Morphine drip and a demon to chase

I swallowed dad's pills, took a knife to my arm, girl

I just started digging, 'til your eyes took me under

You turned off the TV, and saw your own face

From your lonely bed, did you feel me babe?

When we were sixteen, you told me, "Never change"
