"Chains & Shackles"

Problems seem to just get bigger

Failing friends, and failing grades.

So you resign to pull the trigger

Or resort to your razor blades.



You see far ahead no guiding light

Instead the darkness stays the same.

All these years, a life long fight

Now seems nothing more then a game.



Giving up you've reached your end

Looking down you see the chains.

Wheres your family, your friends?

At your feet sit shackles of pain.



All along deep down you always knew

That with chains & shackles you were bound.

Truly there was never anything you could do

With these you were tied to the ground.



Fated to never reach the shining top

And destined to always fall apart.

So with razor blades you decide to stop

With your trigger you take aim at your heart.



And with that you pull your fated trigger

Or slide your seemingly destined razor blades.

No more problems to get even bigger

No more failing friends, or failing grades.
