Chains...

The chains of life are getting heavy They wrap around me, far too many Cutting deep into my purple bleeding skin Pulling so tight they're growing within My steps are getting shorter and shorter Like my breath forced out under water The air is getting thin all around I feel like I'm about to drown Sink or swim, float or fly Time gets shorter by and by I wonder where it all will lead I wonder this and more indeed I gave up on me, myself and I One true regret till the day I die But I will go on and on down the road Bearing the weight of this heavy load To the end when land and water meet And when i feel the sand beneath my feet I'll walk into the water cold and deep And then my maker I will hope to seek As I'm sinking into the dark abyss I piece together the path to this So many twists and turns I missed the one that my heart has yearned Then I can rest my body and sleep Forever falling into the slope so steep Hearing my hearts failing beat I'll remember then my promises to keep...
