Awoken chords

[D]What cause have I to feel glad?
I've [Am]built my life on [C]judgement and causing pain. [G]

I don't know those eyes I see in the bloodstained chrome.
[D]Now everything that I've had
and e[Am]verything I've kn[C]own have been thrown away.[G]

And with time I've come to find this isn't my home.
[D]I've stoked the fire, seen more [Am]pain that you can know[C] .
[G]The tears of the broken have washed away my soul.
[D]Pushed by desire to change the w[Am]ay my stream will flow[C] ,
[G]now I've awoken, and I'm taking back con[D]trol.
[Am]I tried my best to block out the [C]screams,
but they're haunting me in my [G]dreams.

Please break my shackles,

I want it to stop.
[D]I man these wretched machines.
Day [Am]in, day out, the gr[C]inding wears on my brain.
[G]Undermining my sanity, making me question my reality.
[D]But life is not as it seems.
Should I [Am]take a chance of freedom and [C]throw it all down the drain?
[G]I've been imprisoned, please burn my transgressions away.
[D]I've stoked the fire, seen more [Am]pain that you can k[C]now.
[G]The tears of the broken have washed away my soul.
[D]Pushed by desire to change the [Am]way my stream will [C]flow,
[G]now I've awoken, and I'm taking back c[D]ontrol.
[Am]I tried my best to block out the [C]screams,
but they're haunting me in my [G]dreams.

Please break my shackles,

I want it to stop.
[D]I've stoked the fire, seen more [Am]pain that you can [C]know.
[G]The tears of the broken have washed away my soul.
[D]Pushed by desire to change the [Am]way my stream will [C]flow,
[G]now I've awoken, and I'm taking back [D]control.
[D]I'm sick of hurting, sick of thi[Am]nking it's all I d[C]o.
[G]I break those around me, those spared are very few.
[D]But the bright sun is burning, a[Am]nd my sky shines ev[C]er blue.
[G]Friendships surround me, I'm becoming [D]a part of you.
[Am]I tried my best to block out the [C]screams,
but they're haunting me in my d[G]reams.

Please break my shackles,

I want it to stop.
