Broken Places

On the killin' floor
Pieces still remain
Of the fight before
Of the old refrain
And after all I've learned
Well, I'll be here again

To get to someplace real
Takes a long, slow crawl
Some get far afield
Some don't try at all
But if you do the same things
You'll get the same results

Chained to the past
Chained to the fear
Chains on the floor
Broken for years
Freedom is calling me
And my heart races
I feel it in the broken places

Every diver knows
There's a lot at stake
But to the depths he goes
As the water breaks
And for every shipwreck
Well, there's a pearl he takes

Chained to the past
Chained to the fear
Chains on the floor
Broken for years
Freedom is calling me
And my heart races
I feel it in the broken places

Time may fly
But I'm not too old
And I'm not too high
And I'm not too cold
Well, these golden threads
That I nearly sold
For the nice warm bed
And no place to go

Chained to the past
Chained to the fear
Chains on the floor
Broken for years
Freedom is calling me
And my heart races
I feel it in the broken places

Chained to the past
Chained to the fear
Chains on the floor
Broken for years
Freedom calls me
And my heart races
I feel it in the broken places
