Chained

I’m bleeding at the wrists, chained in this pit.
I can feel the fire, burning up my desires.
Death isn’t close enough.
I can’t take it, I won’t make it,
Through this day, through this night,
Through this fight, through this life.

I am chained, chained to my pain.
There’s nothing to gain from all this pain.
This link to my past, to my pain,
Is driving me insane.
I am chained to my pain, chained to this deep, dark pit.

I need to break free, but someone in the other realm must first help me see.
But that’s hard to believe, I’m so confused.
Am I, or am I not, being used?
And by whom?
I need to see the light in this pitch black world of mine.

I am chained, chained to my pain.
There’s nothing to gain from all this pain.
This link to my past, to my pain,
Is driving me insane.
I am chained to my pain, chained to this deep, dark pit.

Why is all my pain eternal, and my happiness short-lived?
It feels like I went through a sieve.
I know this isn’t how I’m supposed to live, if I’m supposed to live at all.
This haunting isn’t helping.

I am chained, chained to my pain.
There’s nothing to gain from all this pain.
This link to my past, to my pain,
is driving me insane.
I am chained to my pain, chained to this deep, dark pit.

There’s gotta be a way out of this pit, away from my wrists.
I want the key to the cuffs that are chaining me to this pit and my pain.
I want to see the light, I want it to feel right.
But all I know are these chains, my pain, this pit, darkness.
