The Chain Lyrics

The Chain

I hear their voices inside my head

There's no denying it's my private hell as

I lie in bed

I take a look around and see myself

In twenty years will I be them

I've taken all I can stand

Afraid of what kind of man I am

Does everything stay the same

Or will I break the chain

Secrets, emotions, and wounds concealed

Spirits are broken, the deepest scars that I'll never heal

They'll be back handed down from father to son

A closet full of skeletons

I've taken all I can stand

Afraid of what kind of man I am

Does everything stay the same

Or will I break the chain

I will get by

With a little understanding

'Cause it's my own life after all

I've taken all I can stand

Afraid of what kind of man I am

Does everything stay the same

Or will I break the chain

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
