undertow

the life that i sought was

already like a jail

long before i was ever bound

wrapped up in chains

no one had built the bonds

use to hold me captive

i had locked away myself

in a captain-less ship

destined to destroy ashore

destruction was my savior

crushing

collapse

crashing

from the impact

i can't escape the undertow that's pulling me

but i keep fighting to get away

the undertow that's pulling me

pulling me

my control disappeared

'cause it was never real

aboard a ship with nowhere to go

guided by lifelessness

a skeleton without a soul

crushing

collapse looming ahead

crashing is imminent

from the impact

i can't escape the undertow that's pulling me

but i keep fighting to get away

the undertow that's pulling me

pulling me

i can't escape the undertow that's pulling me

pulling me

though i found freedom when

i stopped fighting everyone else

and loosened up the anchor

that i had tied around myself

i let go of the chains! chains!

just let go of the chains!

i let go of the chains used to hold me in

my addictions!

killing me from within

i can't escape the undertow that's pulling me

but i keep fighting to get away

the undertow that's pulling me

pulling me

i can't escape the undertow that's pulling me

but i keep fighting to get away

the undertow that's pulling me

pulling me

i can't escape the undertow that's pulling me

but i keep fighting to get away

the undertow that's pulling me

pulling me

just let go of the chains! chains!

i let go of the chains used to hold me in my addiction
