Chained in the Dark 2
Sad Ballad
[Verse 1] Ohh… (Baby) day by day, I begin to fade, Falling in a black hole that I made. (That I made) (That I made) I feel like I'm tied to a chain, Through the nights, I scream in pain. No one comes to pull me out, I'm lost inside this endless haze. [Pre-Chorus] But then a light breaks through the dark, A quiet fire becomes a spark. Even broken wings can fly, Even tears can learn to dry. [Chorus] Everything is pain and tears, Stuck behind this facade for years. I've tried every way to escape, But these chains refuse to break. I smile just to hide the ache, Living in a happiness that's fake. [Verse 2] Ohh, I can't escape From my own jail, Learning the truth, And my face turns pale. The world feels poison, Cold and stale. I try to breathe, But I always fail. The walls close in With every breath, I'm losing myself Inside this mess. But somewhere deep, A voice remains— Telling me I can break these chains. [Chorus] Everything is pain and tears, Stuck behind this facade for years. I've tried every way to escape, But these chains refuse to break. I smile just to hide the ache, Living in a happiness that's fake. [Outro] Ohh… Even broken wings can fly, Even tears can learn to dry.
