Rattle the Chains

Somebody help me, Why am I screaming inside?
Why do the memories and emotions from my past still reside?

Up these stairs I climb, With my weary limbs, theyre aching. 
Im so close to the top, I am driven, I am shaking.

The path to hope and a future I am taking, 
Its a better life I am making and a cycle I am breaking.

But you kicked me, Im falling back to where I started. 
I should have left things how they were, when we first parted.

Youre laughing at my tears, this is a game to you? Deceit?
Does it fill your heart with joy, when you see me in defeat?

I cant play this anymore, When all you do is cheat.
Like a record on repeat, Scratched and scuffed, that you mistreat.
Cashier, Ive checked out now, and id like my receipt.
You havent won this yet, Because my heart still has a beat.

Fuck you, for trying to hold me down.
I let you in my life, now I dont want you around.

While youre chained to my leg, I will stand my ground.
Even though you have grip, I refuse to be bound.
I deserve to smile, thats something that ive found.
When you hear my laughter, cherish the sound.

I have picked myself up, and my love is so abound.
