MC Blance - Chains (feat. Alex McLean)

Nights like this I fight myself
Feels like a pretty bad hand we've all been dealt
Keep on coasting man that's all that I can do
Been to the bottom, least sometimes that's how it felt
Look at my feed on my phone, all this news got me stressed
Man I've not been sleeping, toss and turn in my bed
Man I've not been eating, I'm immersed in the dread
Don't know who I know's going in the hearse fucking next

Try and keep it cool, try and catch my breath
Sometimes I have to try hard to keep my head
But how do you stay sane when the world is in pain
Or at least it feels like nothing is moving, the shit drains
Stuck in this groundhog day
I've not been out in like two weeks at least, but the months won't stay
Hopefully I'll see the end pretty soon from now
Like the sun coming up when the moon's been out, man

I'm lost like my train of thought
Seeking my way out of this maze
Dead ends forcing me to stop
It's hard to keep on
Thinking we're fine when we're not
We just count the days, but we'll find our way
We gotta stay headstrong

Days like this I'm writing songs
It keeps my mind off all the things my mind's been on
Cause lately I've been panicking a lot
Trying writing, scouring for inspiration where there's not, look
Back in the flat man I was struggling
I was tryna keep composure but it's tougher when
You're separated from all the people you love and then
You're cut off from them entirely, you've got nothing then

Shoutout my cousin, he looks up to me
But I look up to him
Cause he's got the confidence
That I want to achieve
Feel like I need to do my family proud cause honestly
Without them I don't really know where I would even be
When I came home it was a weight off my chest
It was some months I'd been away, and though the pain hadn't left
Least not entirely, the irony was I was bereft
Of contact in that flat despite the guys that I'd met

So for all the days I'd sit alone, wishing that I was home
And all the people stuck inside, fucking looking at phones
And all the plans that could never come to fruition at all
Time flying right by, feel like I'm missing it all
But I just keep on moving man cause what else could I do
Except simply holding on, hoping to just see it through
I look into the mirror and I think I'm healing
I just hope it's good things the future's revealing, feel it?

I'm lost like my train of thought
Seeking my way out of this maze
Dead ends forcing me to stop
It's hard to keep on
Thinking we're fine when we're not
We just count the days, but we'll find our way
We gotta stay headstrong

I'm tryna break these chains
Caged up like an animal
Losing at this waiting game
Staring at the same four walls
I'm tryna break these chains
Caged up like an animal
It ain't quite the same
That it's ever been before

I'm tryna break these chains (these chains)
These chains (these chains)
These chains (these chains)
I gotta stay headstrong (headstrong)

I'm lost like my train of thought
Seeking my way out of this maze
Dead ends forcing me to stop
It's hard to keep on
Thinking we're fine when we're not
We just count the days, bit we'll find our way
We gotta stay headstrong

I'm lost like my train of thought
Seeking my way out of this maze
Dead ends forcing me to stop
It's hard to keep on
Thinking we're fine when we're not
We just count the days, bit we'll find our way
We'll find our way
