Lyrics
instrumental soft and gothic pop
Intro – soft, fragile
Mm…
Quiet breathing in the dark
Verse 1 – intimate, reflective
We trace the scars of words we never said
Loose threads of habits pulling me to bed
My mind says “leave”, but I stay instead
Holding broken pieces you once left
Pre-Chorus – building, restrained
I know the exit, I’ve memorized the door
But knowing better never stops the pull
Familiar pain feels safer than the cure
So I stay still, wanting more
Chorus – melodic, emotional release catchy
I’m chained by what I know, not what I feel
I see the truth, but truth doesn’t heal
Freedom waits just out of reach
Still your gravity won’t loosen me
You’re a prisoner of your own disguise
Calling vices by another name
And I’m caught here every time
In the chains of knowing why
Verse 2 – soft, darker tone
Your patterns haunt you like an open ghost
Old walls remember what we held the most
You talk of leaving like it’s just a joke
But roots grow deep where hope once broke
Pre-Chorus – slightly stronger
I stand on shores of what we couldn’t save
Watching waves erase the plans we made
I swear I see a better way
But my hands still shake
Chorus – fuller, warm catchy
I’m chained by what I know, not what I feel
I see the truth, but truth doesn’t heal
Freedom waits just out of reach
Still your gravity won’t loosen me
You’re a prisoner of your own disguise
Calling vices by another name
And I’m caught here every time
In the chains of knowing why
Bridge – vulnerable, stripped back
If loving you is learning how to stay
Why does wisdom feel like pain?
I don’t need answers, I need release
But knowledge keeps its hold on me
Final Chorus – emotional, open
I’m chained by what I know, not what I feel
I know the cost, I know it’s real
Freedom’s knocking, soft but clear
Still your shadow pulls me near
You’re a prisoner, and so am I
Two hearts calling damage “home”
And I’m breaking every night
From the chains I can’t let go
Outro – fading, tender
Mm…
Chains of knowing…
Still holding me
