    Default Chains (Set Me Free)

    Another one that I'm not entirely pleased with, but I've got the basic tune for it and I keep feeling it as somewhere between AC/DC and Crystal Method. I think. Nobody sent me a keyboard for my birthday so I'm really not sure yet.

    Chains (Set Me Free)

    -Verse 1
    It's jammin my brain so I need to just say it
    Cause I keep running out of mind
    The scene is the same every way I play it
    I'm stuck in a static rewind

    -Verse 2
    The chains that are holding you prisoner inside
    Are the same ones that keep me enslaved
    And it ain't somethin you can so easily hide
    No matter how much you repaint it

    -Verse 3
    I can't function at all like me anymore
    Cause you still own so much of me
    You chained and rechanneled my soul to the core
    And I don't know how to break free

    -Bridge
    From the chains of what used to be
    Chains of what used to be
    I rattle your name and you echo the same
    In the chains of what used to be

    -Chorus
    Unlock me Unchain me
    Just turn me loose
    Cause I need to be free
    Of this rattling noose
    That used to be
    (You and me) [background vocal?]
    (Set me free)

    -Verse 4
    How dare you control my life like this
    Knowing you'd have to leave
    Whereever I turn I still slave for your kiss
    In these chains of what used to be

    -Verse 5
    I still cannot see my life without you
    And it's driving me insane
    Chains wrapped so tight I'm turning ice-blue
    But I still hear you calling my name

    -Bridge
    From the chains of what used to be
    Chains of what used to be
    You whisper my name and I echo the same
    From the chains of what used to be

    -Chorus
    Unlock me Unchain me
    Just turn me loose
    Cause I need to be free
    Of this rattling noose
    That used to be
    (You and me)
    [repeat chorus 2-3x]

    -Outro
    (Set me free)
    (Set me free)
    [repeat x#?]

    PS (edit) this almost seems like a sequel to the last one I wrote? .. not intentional tho, it was a fresh idea.
    There is no glamour in sudden death, and nobody ever wins a war.

    Great lyrics. I love chorus.
    Just line in verse 3 "You chained and rechanneled my soul to the core" seems to me quite strange to melody.
