The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here, as I stand
All the sounds become so clear
To get back home again, sometimes I lose my way
Because I've got to fall and just lose it all
Am I running out of time?
I'm breaking the chain from the life I knew
Beat it black and blue each time to be face to face
With the lies I choose or the truth you that like
Make no mistake, I've paid my price
I've done my time with the devil in disguise
'Cause the life I knew has a different view tonight
I'm breaking the chain
Days pass me by
Like I'm saving wasted time
I'm not all right, I think I've fallen for the lie
And as it fades to black, I'm not looking back
I'm so blinded from the light
I'm breaking the chain from the life I knew
Beat it black and blue each time to be face to face
With the lies I choose or the truth you that like
Make no mistake, I've paid my price
I've done my time with the devil in disguise
'Cause the life I knew has a different view tonight
I'm breaking the chain
'Cause I'm tired chasing, chasing yesterday
I'm trying to fake it, never go away
Ever step I take, all the change I break
It brings me, one step closer
I'm breaking the chain from the life I knew
Beat it black and blue each time to be face to face
With the lies I choose or the truth you that like
Make no mistake, I've paid my price
I've done my time with the devil in disguise
'Cause the life I knew has a different view tonight
I'm breaking the chain
I'm breaking the chain
I'm breaking the chain
