lyrics

"Shackles"
Out to sea, all painted with rain,
Breaking my back, simple and plain
Your lack of sentiment
Won’t pay our rent

Chorus:
I’m falling fast
I can’t take it anymore
Here I stand
Fisted Hand
To be free
To be free
To be free

Pull 400 today, 400 tomorrow
Let’s make it 800, we shouldn’t have bothered
Hauled nuthin’ this year
But diesel smoke and a frost-bitten ear

Chorus

Tired of fighting burns and birds and sweat and regret
Just to survive to fight in the cold and the wet
Forget rust, rot and the smell
Of this early hell

Chorus

I’m falling fast – the shackles bring me down
I’m falling fast – the shackles drag me down
I’m falling fast – the shackles hold me down
I’m falling fast – the shackles lock me down
