Breaking The Chain

I wrote these lyrics after realizing how toxic my family has been and the way I grew up is why I am the way I am. I am now desperately changing the way I have been and breaking the cycle. (Ai Vocals) Lyrics: I smiled through the smoke With a mouth full of rain I was taught to fold it up Taught to call it okay In my house, truth got twisted Love came dressed as blame So I wore a quiet face And carried all the weight I didn’t know how deep it went Thought I was fine but I was bent Now I can see what it cost me I lost my true identity It’s time to take back what’s mine I’m breaking the chain I’m breaking the chain I won’t go back I’m done with that game I’m breaking the chain I’m breaking the chain (My own way now) I’m learning my name Lies were the language Manipulation too If you wanted peace You had to play the fool Now I name the wound And I face the truth What they put on me Was never mine to choose I learned to lie and manipulate Broken home that’s filled with hate Now I’ve see what’s been so wrong Claws in my back for too damn long No longer under their control I’m fighting back and letting go I’m breaking the chain I’m breaking the chain I won’t go back I’m done with that game I’m breaking the chain I’m breaking the chain (look at me now) I’m learning my name My trauma was not my fault But how I move is mine I can heal these hands I can leave the lie behind I don’t answer to the hands That kept me in a cage I’m not looking back I’m stepping out of the rage I’m breaking the chain I’m breaking the chain I won’t go back I’m done with that game I’m breaking the chain I’m breaking the chain (hear me now) I’m free in my name
