No Rest Till Death - The Break In

No I didn't know what I was doin'
When it came to the pushin' and shovin'
How am I the criminal suffocating me?
Like a thief in the night it got me
A double-edged knife to the heart I can't breathe
How did I end up as the victim of myself
Well maybe I'm fuckin' tired
Of carrying the weight of your desires
And the screaming that won't stop in my head
The wolves in the night I hear them howlin'
Now the shadows I can see them closing in
Do I surrender when they're surrounding me
I got to escape before it's too late
Gotta get out of here somehow
Through the echoes of empty hallways
Or the chambers of my heart
Through the cobwebs in the attic
Or out the window to my soul
Past the staircase of my memories
Through the dreams I never told
My heartbeat
Is racing
To the footsteps
That chase me
The break in
To break me
So that I can
Be free
Can I get away from all this madness
Am I forward to ask you to stop this
Can I get some clarity or I'll lose my mind
You can try to wear a mask to hide you
But you will never hide your tears
Pointing the gun at the mirror now we're here
Bleeding out from the broken pieces
Thorns in the scars that never really healed
I can't help but cry as I say goodbye
Let the backdoor close behind me
Set the fire to burn beneath my feet
Watching all the flames light up the sky
Have to let go, board the windows
Leave the blueprints burning inside
Let the sorrow and the horror
Play the record one more time
Through the cobwebs in the attic
Out the window to my soul
Pack my suitcase full of memories
Leave the nightmares on their own
My heartbeat
Is racing
To the footsteps
That chase me
The break in
To break me
To find the
Real me
The break in
To break me
So that I can
Be free
