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. . . .
