Dwight Evan Young - Chained to the Past Lyrics

In a living tomb of regret
And severed ties, and broken words...

As you cling to dead things
The world moves past you
Familiar comfort's
Hard to see through

Can't you leave the past behind?
Why are you so afraid of what you'll find?

As it was, so it goes...

So you drag them with you
Shackled to you
The old mistakes;
Obscured, misconstrued

Can you break your self-made chains?
Think of what you'll become, if you just

Take the leap!
Turn your back on the cold comfort that you've known
Look down
Unafraid of what you'll face on your own
Hold tightly to the dreams you had when you were young
Don't tread lightly! Tear the seams, pull the thread till you're undone
You'll fight through what you revere. Outlast your fears, till the past
Can't find you. Will the future show you what's to come?

[The old familiar comfort]
[Everything you ever said
It's all you ever said]
[Chained to the past]

Take the leap
Turn your back on the cold comfort that you've known
Look down
Unafraid of what you'll face on your own
Hold tightly to the dreams you had when you were young
Don't tread lightly! Tear the seams, pull the thread till you're undone
You'll fight through what you revere. Outlast your fears, but the past
Will find you. Will your future show how far you've come?

[The old familiar comfort]
[Everything you ever said
It's all you ever said]
[Chained to the past]
