As I Lay Dying - Undertow

The life that I sought was
Already like a jail
Long before I
Was ever bound

Wrapped up in chains
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)

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 addiction
