Ball and Chain Pt 2

Do you ever wonder if you're alone?
We're simply here in a world of "unknown"

Do you ever walk miles just to hear your steps?
Going on journeys and missions --- but never actually finishing a project?

Always second-guessing --- always second-best
Or think you know it all --- but everyone's unimpressed?

Or try to do your own thing and get caught in someone else's web
Then all of a sudden, you're no longer a celeb

The world takes it's natural turn and everyone has bad days
Wondering how in your life right now --- you'll end up pulling out of this phase?

The funk I've been in is breaking inside of my heart
But I stick it out and bear with it --- until it decides to depart

So many thoughts are scattered inside my brain
Concentrating on the falling warm rain

I take a deep breath and I try to start over once again insane
Until I am forever free from this created ball and chain...
