lyrics

I placed the chains I want to hold me down
free as I want to be
after my soul is gone
these links will still live on
connecting these things to me

something to be said
for the chains you create
anchor me always

I'm bound but these chains are mine
free as I want to be
by design

I ask myself do I want this
enough to bear the weight?
what if I can't hold on
become what it is I hate

always had a choice
was never forced to choose
I chose the souls I connected to

I'm bound but these chains are mine
free as I want to be by design
where ever I go I bring in tow
the tethered love I want to be mine
bound by design

love is a chain you shackle yourself
like that it's short at the start
time goes by and the longer it grows
and you get further apart

the further I get from the opposite end
the more I want to follow it back

I'm bound but these chains are mine
free as I want to be by design
I keep it close watch it grow
the things that I want to be mine
I'm bound by design

free as I want to be
