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
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 escapse 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 addiciton
