lyrics

Oh my chains are gone, but I keep putting them back on.
Oh good God my chains are gone, but I keep putting them back on.

Empty promises of desires that I seek.
These cords that bind
This millstone of mine
Around my neck
Have shaped my spine to it.

Oh my chains are gone, but I keep putting them back on.
Oh my God my chains are gone, but I keep putting them back on.

The coldest lips and frozen kiss,
This is where I want to fall apart.
So here's the color. . . you always wanted.
Feels like: an exhale, like letting go and returning home.

This thirst I quench
Returns instant,
And I am left
With the broken hands, of a broken man.
I keep running from the water in the well.
Oh, can you make me well?

Oh my chains are gone, but I keep putting them back on.
Oh my God my chains are gone, but I keep putting them back on.

The most fitting, "Is this it?"
The most fitting, "This is it."
Pull me straight; back into place.
Pull me straight from my crooked ways.
Pull me straight, back into place.

Oh my God my chains are gone, but I keep...
