I thought this time, for once, had gone away
Your hold on me had finally gone, finally gone
I spread the word that I was back again
With Metaphors I stepped back from the edge

Without those chains my mind freed from it's cage
Without those chains (fully conscious)

But just a thought, a glimpse, I spiral down again
My ruined past, a life I could not win
If this was you, I know you'd do so much better
I may be here but I am losing, losing ground

If it was you, I'd tear it down
If it was you, I'd soon discover
If it was you, I'd soon recover
But I'm not you and I don't know better

Without those chains
Without those chains
