Well it's hard not to feel alone Staring at the fields I've sown I feel a little torn as I'm pulling out the thorns Sifting through the weeds I've grown Feel like it's closing me in And the air's just a little too thin The corners and the walls seem as they will fall But something's gotta give in the end Ball and chain Feel the weight as it calls my name Why'd you have to take Me so deeply? Ball and chain Feel the weight as I take the blame Why'd you have to break Me completely down? My heart beats but the blood moves slow I still breathe but the air's too cold I know that I'm alive but if only to survive Surviving to only get old This current keeps pulling me in And I'm flailing but the waves won't end I struggle just to see as they're crashing over me Don't know if I'll sink or I'll swim Ball and chain Feel the weight as it calls my name Why'd you have to take Me so deeply? Ball and chain Feel the weight as I take the blame Why'd you have to break Me completely down? Me completely down Me completely Ball and chain Feel the weight as it calls my name Why'd you have to break Me completely? Ball and chain Feel the weight as it calls my name Why'd you have to take Me so deeply? Ball and chain Feel the weight as I take the blame Why'd you have to break Me completely down? Down Down Down
