No Release Lyrics

[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've given is no release



[Verse 2]

You've changed; you're 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



[Outro]

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
