Casting Off the Chains
The Shins

Verse 1:
I walked the halls of shadows,
Where faith once held my hand.
I whispered doubts in silence,
And forged my own command.

Chorus:
Oh, I’m casting off the chains,
Of the tales and the pains,
In the light of a new dawn,
I’m finally reborn.

Verse 2:
The weight of ancient stories,
Brought tears to my bewildered eyes.
But now I see the mountains,
And feel the open skies.

Chorus:
Oh, I’m casting off the chains,
Of the tales and the pains,
In the light of a new dawn,
I’m finally reborn.

Bridge:
Truth is a wild river,
That flows through every heart.
I’m swimming toward the future,
Where my spirit can depart.

Verse 3:
So if you find your journey,
Is leading you astray,
Just know you’re not alone,
As you break away.

Chorus:
Oh, I’m casting off the chains,
Of the tales and the pains,
In the light of a new dawn,
I’m finally reborn.

Outro:
In the whispers of the evening,
I’ll dance beneath the stars,
Embracing all the freedom,
That’s finally mine to hold such far.
