Rationale
Break the Chains
[Intro: Rationale]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1: Example]
He was heading down a one-way road just living it
Thought they were blind to the silly shit
Livin' that lie, being that guy
Making her cry up all night right in the thick of it
Spot the difference, chattin' gibberish
Sat at every sunday roast, can't finish it
Losing control was deliberate
Begging that the kids don't mimic this
They said you can't be unhappy where you are in your life
With your house, and your clothes, and your cars, and your wife
You can think he's a mug, but I know what he's like
In the places we go in the dark of the night
[Pre-Chorus: Example]
Big boys don't cry, gotta be a man, act tough
But that ain't enough
Don't hide the pain
When you feel like giving up
Wake up
Break the chains
[Chorus: Rationale]
If only I could fly away
Revel in the moonlight
Try to find a good life
Find a way to break the chains
Find a way to break the chains
Struggle just to hear the call
It's easy now, easy now
Heaven is a mile away
I'll burn it all and leave today
[Verse 2: Example]
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Married to the wife, that's a code name
Talkin' the talk, but it's so lame
Awake, but I don't know my own name
Free, but I'm trapped in my own brain
I won, but I'm beat by my own game
Before I could walk in my own lane
Trust me, come clean, no shame
Don't ever think you can't complain, ayy
Used to have an 'S' on my chest
Rolled with best of the best
You never would've guessed
If you're lookin' from the outside
Down my perfect life
Was anything less
[Pre-Chorus: Example]
Big boys don't cry, gotta be a man, act tough
But that ain't enough
Don't hide the pain
When you feel like giving up
Wake up
Break the chains
Break the chains
Take the reigns
Keep on calling day to day
'Cause I know you feel like leaving
But you still got more to say
Break the chains
Take the reigns
Keep on calling day to day
'Cause I know you feel like leaving
I know you feel like leaving
[Chorus: Rationale]
If only I could fly away
Revel in the moonlight
Try to find a good life
Find a way to break the chains
Find a way to break the chains
Struggle just to hear the call
It's easy now, easy now
Heaven is a mile away
I'll burn it all and leave today
[Bridge: Example]
Break the chains
Take the reigns
Keep on calling day to day
'Cause I know you feel like leaving
But you still got more to say
Break the chains
Take the reigns
Keep on calling day to day
'Cause I know you feel like leaving
I know you feel like leaving
Break the chains
Take the reigns
Keep on calling day to day
'Cause I know you feel like leaving
But you still got more to say
Break the chains
Take the reigns
Keep on calling day to day
'Cause I know you feel like leaving
I know you feel like leaving
[Chorus: Rationale]
If only I could fly away (If only I could fly away)
Revel in the moonlight (Oh)
Try to find a good life
Find a way to break the chains (Find a way to break the chains)
Find a way to break the chains
Struggle just to hear the call
It's easy now, easy now
Heaven is a mile away (Heaven is a mile away)
I'll burn it all and leave today
[Outro: Rationale]
Struggle just to hear the call
It's easy now, easy now
Heaven is a mile away (Heaven is a mile away)
I'll burn it all and leave today
If only I could fly away
Revel in the moonlight
Try to find a good life
Find a way to break the chains
Find a way to break the chains
