(Verse 1)

There's a prison made of bone, a battlefield inside my head

Been fighting voices on the throne, believing every word they said

White-knuckle grip, a steady hand, trying to steer against the storm

Tried to live the life they planned, tried to keep my spirit warm

But the silence screams a violent song

And I've been holding on for far too long

(Pre-Chorus)

There's a hairline crack in the porcelain shell

A private little corner of a brand new hell

The pressure builds, the static grows

And everybody thinks that nobody knows!

(Chorus)

Tonight, I let go of the reins!

Unleashed the hurricane inside my veins!

No compass left to guide me through the pain

I let go of the reins, and I'm dancing in the acid rain!

Yeah, I let go of the reins!

(Verse 2)

The world outside is painted new, in colors that are sharp and wrong

Every face I thought I knew is singing a distorted song

The man I was is just a ghost, a photograph that's faded now

He's the one I miss the most, but I can't get back to him somehow

This chaotic pulse is my new law

I'm living by the tooth and by the claw

(Pre-Chorus)

That hairline crack is a canyon wide

There's nowhere left for me to run and hide

The floodgates break, the fever flows

And I'm heading straight to where the wild wind blows!

(Chorus)

Tonight, I let go of the reins!

Unleashed the hurricane inside my veins!

No compass left to guide me through the pain

I let go of the reins, and I'm dancing in the acid rain!

Yeah, I let go of the reins!

(Bridge)

Is this madness? Is this clarity?

A terrifying moment of sincerity?

Free from the chains of "should" and "must"

My rational kingdom has turned to dust

There's no master now, no king on the throne

Just the wild, wild freedom of being alone... utterly alone
