Throw The Chains Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'll be your builder, skilled at the tasks you ask
I'll be you sinner baby, allowing my soul to be sold
But I'm drawing the line there woman
I ain't takin' no more abuse
I'll be puttin' my foot down and then
Throw the chains away
Locked in your prison, much too late for escape
Your walls are closin' in, let's tie the knot while we're hot
Bells are ringing, but my ears won't hear
And you're comin' for me, with the chains and the key
