Ball and Chain Songtext
von Any Given Sin

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
