NO MORE CHAINS

[VERSE 1] A whole day ground away Melts on the table "One more and you'll win" That lie drags us under The house keeps on smiling The workers don't speak Even the winners End up back at the table Fingers One blink A pause between breaths The hotter your blood gets The less you can see So I keep it ice-cold Down to my pulse Cut through all the cheering Watch the habits they repeat This isn't luck Greed shows on your face I hit the bottom Now there's one way left: up [PRE-CHORUS] No more praying now No more begging now With these rusted chains I'll tear free tonight Beyond that ceiling There's still open sky Then I'll climb on my own Till I reach the light [CHORUS] BREAK OUT BREAK OUT From below, we rise BREAK OUT BREAK OUT Tear right through the night Every day they stole With these hands, take them back NO MORE CHAINS NO MORE CHAINS I'm not a number anymore If iron walls block us Break them down, rise above [VERSE 2] One final hand The room holds its breath His right hand freezes His eyes slide away One beat Two beats I can read it all The first one to panic Gives the whole game away Keep your money I want the way out If all I do is win They'll drag me back again The last card hits the table The sirens start to scream Red warning lights Flood the world below Up the iron stairs Two steps at a time Their shouts at my back I run for the sky [BREAKDOWN] RUN RUN RUN Higher still BURN BURN BURN All our yesterdays CUT CUT CUT These chains that hold us Don't stop now Don't stop now [FINAL CHORUS] BREAK OUT BREAK OUT From below, we rise BREAK OUT BREAK OUT Turn it all upside down All the years we lost We carry as we rise NO MORE CHAINS NO MORE CHAINS I'm not a number anymore Though the dawn burns my eyes I'll go home with my own name
