It's just an illusion, a trick, a trick of the light

what you now see is really out of sight

It's dark, it's evil, possessive and kind

Something that you give me keeps me alive



Both ends burning, burning so bright tonight

And my world keeps turning, turning inside out



And I can't break the chain

I've gotta break the chain

I'm trying to break the chain

God help me break the chain



I'm winning, I'm losing before I start

I pull myself together as I fall apart

I'm wise, so foolish perceptive and blind

Something that kills me keeps me alive



Both ends burning, burning so bright tonight

And my world keeps turning, turning inside out



And I can't break the chain

I've gotta break the chain

I'm trying to break the chain

God help me break the chain



There's no rhyme no reason

to what I do

I just live my life before I lose

I give, I take, I throw it all away

Pick myself up and I start all over again



Both ends burning, burning so bright tonight

And my world keeps burning, turning upside out



And I can't break the chain

God help me break the chain

I wanna break the chain

please help me break the chain
