Ball and Chain

• Artist: Absque Iter
• Description: Do you ever fall into a really melancholic mood, and find yourself pondering your worth? Do you ever wonder if your loved ones would ever be better off without you, or if you never existed? Do you ever feel like little more than an anchor?
  This is a song that I wrote based on that feeling. I'm sure that many of you experience this feeling at one point in your lives, if not many. You're not alone.

Once upon a thought ago
I loved you and thought you loved me too
How I believed it so
That I was what was best for you

Now I see my selfishness
The cold black sphere I call my soul
Now I can see the mess
I left with you to hold

So now I hope you
See the way

With a turn away from me
I smile and know you'll
Live again
And finally be free
Leave behind this ball
And chain

Now that you're long and gone
I live alone to die alone
Never hurt another one
I'll breathe until my breath is gone

I'll sit here until I
Can rest my head and hope to die
And dream a dream when I
Can in a six foot hole sleep and lie

And never see you
Cry by me

With a turn away from me
I smile and know you'll
Live again
And finally be free
Leave behind this ball
And chain

Smile all you want because
I'm not there anymore to
Judge at you're smiling's cause
And dream
Smile as I cry alone
Knowing you and only you
Will heal this cold pain's seam

With a turn away from me
I smile and know you'll
Live again
And finally be free
Leave behind this ball
And chain
With a turn away from me
I cry and know you'll
Heal again
And finally be free
Leave behind this ball
And chain
