Ball And Chain
She holds me downShe holds me upShe licks my woundsThen cuts me deepShe tells me stayThen plans to leaveShe is my cureAnd my diseaseAnd it's so complicated'Cause I hate myself for feeling this wayThese walls used to protect meNow they're closing in, yeahShe keeps me so secureUntil I can't escapeSo unpredictable that it's all the sameSo many night I wishI knew the moment whenYour anchor turned into a ball and chainBrings me to tearsThen wipes them dryAsks me for truthsThen tells me liesAnd it's oh so plainSongtexteAs clear as eyes can seeThe greatest happinessThis side of miseryAnd it's so complicated'Cause I hate myself for feeling this wayThese walls used to protect meNow they're closing in, yeahShe keeps me so secureUntil I can't escapeSo unpredictable that it's all the sameSo many night I wishI knew the moment whenYour anchor turned into a ball and chainAin't nothing wrong with having both feet on the groundUntil you look around and realize that you are boundRealize that you have drowned in a sea of securityThat leads to complacency now tell me how that soundYou tell me how you found your way back to the turnoutWhen your love flames burn out now your house looking smokyLike the teardrops of a clown, just wanna live in peaceBut can't show too many teeth cuz she'll take shots at your crownPOW, another shot another man downSo I'm back on my Moe Dee shit, how you like me nowBack on my public speak shit, talking to the crowdStanding tall, front and center when I'm finished take a bowHollaAnd it's so complicated'Cause I hate myself for feeling this wayThese walls used to protect meNow they're closing in, yeahShe keeps me so secureUntil I can't escapeSo unpredictable that it's all the sameSo many night I wishI knew the moment whenYour anchor turned into a ball and chain Aus Songtexte Mania
