lyrics

YOU OWE NOTHING



Time to prepare for the great surrender
Been so long that you can’t remember
How it feels to fill your lungs with
Air
Unclench your fists you’re the last one standing
The armies that you’ve been commanding
Vanish as if they were never there
And just like that
You forgot what you were fighting for

You owe nothing anymore

The weight hanging ‘round your neck’s been lifted
The winds beating down your door have shifted
The oath you swore you’d keep has been laid to rest
The wounds that you wore that gave you purpose
Close as you swim up towards the surface
And what will you do now that you’ve passed the test
‘Cause who you are is not who you were before

You owe nothing anymore
You owe nothing anymore


Step back from the edge
Stop growing colder
You don’t have to look
Over your shoulder
The phantoms haunting you
Are now your friends
And the truth that you hoped would set you free
Is not what you thought
That it would be
But it’s enough to let you make amends
Your debts are paid
There is no one keeping score

You owe nothing anymore
You owe nothing anymore
You owe nothing anymore
