The Northern - Nauticus lyrics

I once was a boy who followed the American Dream Get a job get a house get a wife Was always told that's the life Well I'm sick of pretending Being something I'm not I'm sick of the yearning for something I don't need You can keep living your dream but I can't say I care I'm tired of selling I love you and I'm ending this nightmare I'm trapped in the undertow It pulls me under as it fills my lungs Is there a way out? Now I'm feeling the undertow and told I'm right where I should be. So why do I feel so empty? The ups and downs they come and they go; But am I right where I should be? Oh, I don't know why I feel so empty Why do I feel so empty? No one should feel this way every single day Feeling so empty You had me sleepwalking for years But I've awoken from this SLUMBER Take time to study my words You've done enough damage to last me a lifetime It's the first time and last time I'll say: You're a cancerous soul I can finally breathe without you here to show me the way Now I'm feeling the undertow and told I'm right where I should be. So why do I feel so empty? The ups and downs they come and they go; But am I right where I should be? Oh, I don't know why I feel so empty
