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