I'm bound by thin shackles, thick ones too, My mind is held hostage and how I try to escape, My body may move, yet the Chains of History keep me bottled, I can't forget the ghosts of my past; the traps I so blindly walked into, How they love to linger, As a painful reminder of my regrets and remorse, They speak to me, like every rose to its thorn, They bind tighter, I smile. For with them, I am Complete.

Chains of History
I'm bound by thin shackles, thick ones too, My mind is held hostage and how I try to escape, My body may move, yet the Chains of History keep me bottled, I can't forget the ghosts of my past; the traps I so blindly walked into, How they love to linger, As a painful reminder of my regrets and remorse, They speak to me, like every rose to its thorn, They bind tighter, I smile. For with them, I am Complete.
