Coming over mountains
they pale beside the wall between us now
since I refuse to play along
It's always been another
to do the damage you live everyday
and leave you cursing for escape
Each day I see the ball and chain
grow a little more ingrained
and watch you corner pain
say'in nothing
nothing's gonna change
Why is the world so damn unkind
to one so righteous in her mind?
The sun won't rise and shine
Will you never find your peace of mind?
My father couldn't bother
to play the kind of role the job required
Instead of trying he retired
What so much shit to conquer
to feel alone while so-called friends don't phone
You know the pain is not their own
Each day I see the ball and chain
grow a little more ingrained
and watch you corner pain
say'in nothing
nothing's gonna change
Why is the world so damn unkind
to one so righteous in her mind?
The sun won't rise and shine
Will you never find your peace of mind?
Coming over mountains
to feel the tension hiding in these walls
You see all trace of spirit fall
My father couldn't bother
but now he's back to find his place again
Sorry but the book's been burned
Each day I see the ball and chain
grow a little more ingrained
and watch you corner pain
say'in nothing
nothing's gonna change
Why is the world so damn unkind
to one so righteous in her mind?
The sun won't rise and shine
Will you never find your peace of mind?
Your peace of mind
Your peace of mind
