Breaking the chain

BREAKING THE CHAIN
I´m running out of days stuck on a sable island
my shoes need shining and the typewriter is silent
strange rumbles an unknown destination
the birds fly south in a v formation
wild horses running the race tracks
i´m chasing tornados with folded road maps
coz each man hell is in a different place
mine is just hiding behind my ruined face
avoid mirrors lurking in the shadows
coz I walk alone with no one to follow
I fight the slow retreat blend into time
the calender is upside-down I move counterclockwise
ladies well they drain my senses
I'm out of focus jumping over barbwire fences
i´m senseless my old fashion desire
I crumble my poems and set´em on fire

CHORUS
hand's tied up with broken chains
1000 words I'm numb to pain
my life is in a picture frame
throwing curses at my name

I eat unhealthy and smoke to fast
always broke that´s a thing that will last
I talk to myself and complain about the cold
priority is wrong I put my girlfriend on hold
playing loud music i´m used to noise complaints
boys will be boys devils and saints
breaking empty promises 1000 excuses
ignorance is bliss and i´m covered in bruises

i´m changing people around me stay the same
the years go by with the water down the drain
outlines of tall buildings attack from within
urban landscape consumes a pedestrian
return back to my roots despite the bad weather
exaggerating my wins convincing storyteller
I sleep to noon dress in dark colors
and practice my lines with pride and honor
