Let me rip my heart open, let me show you the season
Unannounced it comes down like some fires from Hell
Demons who gnaw at you, wishing you well
Your chains are so heavy, click-clacking behind
But onward you press, and you slowly resign
They've always been there, like some unwanted cyst
Maybe you should end it, would you really be missed?
Lies and deceit slowly cloud o'er your vision
Somewhere along you've forgotten the mission
This disease, it's spreading, and it cracks your skin dry
You sit down and ponder and ask yourself "Why?"
This water you've heard of with some great renown
Don't let it touch you for surely you'll drown
Or not quite, but maybe, but surely...you think
You look at your chains, every last solemn link
Could life be unhindered, without chains could you see
A life without bondage, dare you say free?
Can freedom exist in such an unbridled state?
Your chains are so heavy, is this really your fate?
