[Verse]
I used to live behind a fortress wall (wall aaa-all)
Collected all the stones, built it on my own
Stories on top of stories left untold (told ooo-old)
Together with no plans of ever growing old
But now I look around and all that I can see (all that I can see) (all that I can see) (all that I can see)
Is every brick I laid, keeping the world from me (me)
Well, safety for me then is prison for me now (prison to me now) (prison to me now) (prison to me now, but)
But I built this wall so well, it's hard to tear it down (down), no
[Chorus]
And I don't know what I see
But if I'm speaking truthfully
I know it ain't easy (easy)
It ain't easyea-yeah (easyea-yea)
But if I could just get one time
Whеn everything just fell in linе
Oh, release me (me)
Release me (release me)
[Verse]
It's crazy what we do to stay alive (live aaa-ive)
The prices that we pay (that we pay) to enlist in sunrise (enlist in sunrise)
I had so many needs I set aside (side aaa-ide)
But now that I survived (survived) I'm learning how to thrive (how to thrive)
Cuz now I look around and don't know what I see (don't know what I see) (don't know what I see) (don't know what I see)
Is this just empty space for opportunity (ty)
What used to scare me then, I'm seeing daily now (seeing daily now) (seeing daily now) (seeing daily now, so)
So I trade my comfort zone for new uncharted ground (ground), oh-oooa
[Chorus]
And I don't know what I see
But if I'm speaking truthfully
I know it ain't easy (easy)
It ain't easyea-yeah (easyea-yea)
But if I could just get one time
When everything just fell in line
Oh, release me (me)
Release me (release me)
[Chorus]
And I don't know what I see
But if I'm speaking truthfully
I know it ain't easy (easy)
It ain't easyea-yeah (easyea-yea)
But if I could just get one time
When everything just fell in line
Oh, release me (me)
Release me (release me)
[Outro]
Oh-oh, I don't know what I see
But if I'm speaking truthfully
I know it ain't easy
It ain't easy-yeah
But if I could just get one time
When all fell in line (all fell in line)
Oh, release me
Release me, yea
