I used to live behind a fortress wall
Collected all the stones, built it on my own
Stories on top of stories left untold
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 lay, keeping the world from me
Well, safety for me then is prison to 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, no
And I don't know what I see
But if I'm speaking truthfully
I know it ain't easy, it ain't easy
But if I could just get one time
When everything just fell in line
Oh, release me, release me
It's crazy what we do to stay alive
The prices that we pay to enlist in sunrise
I had so many needs I set aside
But now that I survived, I'm learning how to thrive
'Cause 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 or opportunity?
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, oh-ah
And I don't know what I see
But if I'm speaking truthfully
I know it ain't easy, it ain't easy
But if I could just get one time
When everything just fell in line
Oh, release me, release me
I don't know what I see
But if I'm speaking truthfully
I know it ain't easy, it ain't easy
But if I could just get one time
When everything just fell in line
Oh, release me, release me, oh-ah
I don't know what I see
But if I'm speaking truthfully
I know it ain't easy, it ain't easy, yeah
And if I could just get one time
When it all fell in line
Oh, release me, release me, yeah
