No Release

[Verse 1]
She's changed; she's new now
She's moved on somehow
The pain is gone now
But she still needs room to breathe
You've changed; you're silent
For all those years spent
Explaining what it was that you really meant

[Chorus 1]
Now you won't say it aloud
You'd rather be silent and proud
But down inside you still lies the beast
If she's the reason you live
You'll only get what you give
And what you give her is no release

[Verse 2]
You've changed; you've grown up
Your wounds have sewn up
Your time has shown up
Yet you still can't find your way
No lies, no secrets
This is your life, now keep it
In time, you'll see it

[Chorus 2]
The faces you have put on
Have held you back all along
You're a king, not a pawn, so cease
To be so loyally fake
You'll only get what you take
And what you've taken is no release

[Bridge]
And one day everyone will smile again
We'll feel like a child again
And look behind us
And think of all the stuff that's going on
The stuff we're growing on

[Chorus 3]
It's an ashen quadrant affair
Except you just don't care
Your only aim has been to appease
Lay down your pride, and your gun
You're not the only one
Who's still looking for some release

[Chorus 4]
And if the rules, they can bend
You know you still could be friends
But it doesn't rely on me
This is as far as I go
I only say what I know;
And what I know is, you need release
