The Weak Link

I built these walls around me to shut your whispers out.
I trapped myself in my own prison lost in my own doubt.
Searching for an answer, trying to escape--and every time I think I found it my exit fades away.
And I fight to fill the hole inside,
Search for truth but just find lies.
And I'm not blind but it feels like
That I'm stumbling around in the dark
I'm reaching out to touch you now
But I'm slowly being pulled away.
I'm breaking out to hold on tight
I refuse to leave the way that I came
And I will not be the one that shakes,
I will not be the one that breaks,
No matter what pain it takes,
I won't be the weak link in the chain.
These shadows advance closer
They drive the light away.
The world down here feels God-forsaken
My heart is so depraved.
Hoping for an answer to my long-lost prayers
And if you see this hole that I'm in, show me that you're there.
And I fight to fill the hole inside,
Search for truth but just find lies.
And I'm not blind but it feels like
That I'm stumbling around in the dark
I'm reaching out to touch you now
But I'm slowly being pulled away.
I'm breaking out to hold on tight
'Cause I refuse to leave the way that I came
And I will not be the one that shakes,
No, I will not be the one that breaks,
No matter what pain it takes,
I won't be the weak link in the chain.
Darker, Lighter
Lower, Higher
Colder, Warmer
Further, Closer
And the storm I ignored in the back of my mind
Became my identity,
And the chains that I wore became my weapon of choice
Once I was set free.
I'm reaching out to touch you now
And the world can't pull me away.
I'm holding on to you so tight
Yeah, I won't leave the way I came
And I will not be the one that shakes,
No, I will not be the one that breaks,
No matter what pain it takes,
I won't be the weak link in the chain.
