It's just an illusion, a trick, a trick of the light
what you now see is really out of sight
It's dark, it's evil, possessive and kind
Something that you give me keeps me alive

Both ends burning, burning so bright tonight
And my world keeps turning, turning inside out

And I can't break the chain
I've gotta break the chain
I'm trying to break the chain
God help me break the chain

I'm winning, I'm losing before I start
I pull myself together as I fall apart
I'm wise, so foolish perceptive and blind
Something that kills me keeps me alive

Both ends burning, burning so bright tonight
And my world keeps turning, turning inside out

And I can't break the chain
I've gotta break the chain
I'm trying to break the chain
God help me break the chain

There's no rhyme no reason
to what I do
I just live my life before I lose
I give, I take, I throw it all away
Pick myself up and I start all over again

Both ends burning, burning so bright tonight
And my world keeps burning, turning upside out

And I can't break the chain
God help me break the chain
I wanna break the chain
please help me break the chain...
