Chains (Mixed) [Remixed Version]

Held down in a maze

No way out of this plane

It's like our lives are a game

Plugged into the mains

Born between tectonic plates

Immense pressure can make something great

Or destruction sounds out its rhythm in an earthquake

All I see is chains

Calm brought the storm

Echo of the knocks on the door

Orchestrating his death

Docile taste on his breath

Holds his face in the morgue

Scars in the space between debts

Folk reconfigured

Host in the picture

Like a ghost reappearing from the fissure

One illusion builds the frame

The second paints the destitute remains

All I see is

All I see is Cranes flying through the night

One drops from the trusty squadron as lightning strikes

In the cauldron of compromise

And I'm unconscious in this river of lies

All I see

Held down in a maze

No way out of this plane

It's like our lives are a game

Plugged into the mains

Held down in a maze

No way out of this plane

It's like our lives are a game

All running from the same

Continuous laps of the radius

But this ain't no stadium I collapse

From the pressure in my cranium

Straps on my chest I can't breathe the walls are caving in yet I can still rap

Please give me a sign while I'm performing the high wire act psychopathic when I'm writing this crap

In darkness I find the light to keep my fire intact

But we're all the same that's how we keep sane

Living with the chains

Held down in a maze

No way out of this plane

It's like our lives are a game

Plugged into the mains

Held down in a maze

No way out of this plane

It's like our lives are a game

All running from the same

I try not to think about it

I try not to think about it

I try not to make a sound

Choking in the throat of the company man lost in a crowd of his own

After tasting the heights, dim goes the lights in his eyes

And his hopes and dreams turn grey

Held down in a maze

No way out of this plane

It's like our lives are a game

Plugged into the mains

Held down in a maze

No way out of this plane

It's like our lives are a game

All running from the same
