In the 4th song off Sum 41’s “13 Voices”, Deryck finally accept that he can’t ever deny his past habits, the abuse of alcohol, that nearly lead him to a shameful death. It’s time to accept it, accept the mistakes, but doing that at the same time screaming to the world ‘I’M DONE WITH IT’, i leave tha...
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Here as I stand, all the signs become so clear
To get back home again, sometimes I lose my way, hey
[Pre-Chorus]
Because I'm bound to fall, and just lose it all
Am I running out of time?
[Chorus]
I'm breaking the chain from the life I knew
Beaten black and blue, it's time
To be face to face with the lies I choose
Throw the truth into the light
Make no mistake, I've paid my price
I've done my time with the devil in disguise
'Cause the life I knew has a different view
Tonight, I'm breaking the chain
[Verse 2]
Days pass me by like I'm saving wasted time
I'm not all right, I think I've fallen for the lie, aye
[Pre-Chorus]
And as it fades to black, I'm not looking back
I'm so blinded by the light
[Chorus]
I'm breaking the chain from the life I knew
Beaten black and blue, it's time
To be face to face with the lies I choose
Throw the truth into the light
Make no mistake, I've paid my price
I've done my time with the devil in disguise
'Cause the life I knew has a different view
Tonight, I'm breaking the chain
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
'Cause I'm tired of chasing, chasing yesterday, I've lost the feeling!
Scars don't fade, they never go away, and I'm still bleeding!
Every step I take, all the chains that I break
It brings me one step closer
I'm breaking the chain...
[Chorus]
I'm breaking the chain from the life I knew
Beaten black and blue, it's time
To be face to face with the lies I choose
Throw the truth into the light
Make no mistake, I've paid my price
I've done my time with the devil in disguise
'Cause the life I knew has a different view
Tonight, I'm breaking the chain
[Outro]
I'm breaking the chain
I'm breaking the chain
