Two Dimensional - Old Forgotten Chains Lyrics

Like silent mountains hidden on my skin
Permanent and always on my mind
Silver fountains flowing hues of red
Markings born out of a crimson tide

I wear my history instead of my heart on my sleeve
And it's a mystery how it got to be this way
Still I am glistening with hope for things unseen
But for now I'll bear the burden of this weight

Oh why won't time just take away these scars
Even though it's dealt with all the rest
I'll try to find my place among the stars
But I'm afraid I'll never pass the test

I wear my history instead of my heart on my sleeve
And it's a mystery how it got to be this way
Still I am glistening with hope for things unseen
But for now I'll bear the burden of this weight

But I'll never let it hold me down
I'll stare it in the face
And tell it to go back to hell
And leave without a trace
My scars are just a part of me
And that will never change
But I will never be defined by old forgotten chains

I wear my history instead of my heart on my sleeve
And it's a mystery how it got to be this way
Still I am glistening with hope for things unseen
But for now I think I'll let go of these chains
For now I think I'll let go of the chains
These old forgotten chains
