As I Lay Dying - Undertow lyrics

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

Just let go of the chains, chains
I let go of the chains used
To hold me in my addictio
