As I Lay Dying – Undertow lyrics

[Intro] The life that I sought was already like a jail Long before I was ever bound [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] My control disappeared 'Cause it was never real [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Just let go of the chains, chains I let go of the chains used to hold me in my addiciton Explain Request ×
