the release (for LOCKE.) Lyrics

Try to paint a pretty picture

Maybe we can step inside

My demise prolly lies

Deep inside my little lies

Set it up to knock it down

A heel could heal the serpent

Way too curious to not know

What forbidden fruit could taste like

Eyes closed

I try to see

I know

Who I could be

But no, oh no

It's all a dream

It's all a dream

Eyes closed

I try to see

I know

Who I could be

But no, oh no

It's all a dream

It's all a dream

I need a release

See, I need to just breath

And I needed the help

And I need you to see

That I needed the time to find what's lost in me

I just need a need

Yup, I just need to need

I need you to give me space to touch the stars

I needed to bleed

I like the look of scars

I need my own tale

It's tied all up in yours

I need to do me

Yes, I need to do

When the world keeps spinning, but you can't keep up

When the page stay turning, but it don't add up

When it all falls down, will you finally give up?

When the world keeps spinning, but you can't keep up

When the page stay turning, but it don't add up

When it all falls down, will you finally give up?

Eyes closed

I try to see

I know

Who I could be

But no, oh no

It's all a dream

It's all a dream

Eyes closed

I try to see

I know

Who I could be

But no, oh no

It's all a dream

It's all a dream

I need to release

See, I need to just breath

And I needed a piece of pain to trust the peace

I needed to grow to know how I can be

I want to be needed

Find your need in me

I need you to tell me when I need to chill

I'm supposed to love

It's not my job to build

I needed to fix

A notion of my pride

But I need to do me

So you don't need to hide

When the world keeps spinning, but you can't keep up

When the page stay turning, but it don't add up

When it all falls down, will you finally give up?

When the world keeps spinning, but you can't keep up

When the page stay turning, but it don't add up

When it all falls down, will you finally give up?

Hey, brother

This is Stephen, but you know that already

I'm just calling to remind you in this hard time

No matter what time it is

No matter how far down the line it is

I'm just calling to remind you of who you are

Who God says you are

And who He's making you

And who He has made you thus far to be

You are a man of God

You are a son of God

With whom He is well pleased

I remember, we went from

Not knowing each other

Only connection thru mothers

That and the campus we ran thru

Who knew we'd end up as brothers

Who knew that I'd grow to the love ya, huh

Little annoying kid

Kept toying with me

Boy, I miss the

Moments when we would walk home

Skipping out on the bus

Process of conversations

You someone who I could trust

As home was like a war-zone

You were with me in trenches

Not to mention, the burdens on me

You'd never let me bench it alone

I hope that you know

That nothing can erase

This distance that we've run

This race of life, thru strife

Thru right and wrongs

I write this song in hopes to paint a portrait

Make a few things crystal clear

Do me a favor lend your ear

Got things to say that you should hear

Like bro, you're loved

On Earth and from up above

Don't get it twisted like a joint

See, life is filled with disappointment

But you ain't one

And who you are is enough

Holding onto that's tough

But take heart, like you taught me while we rode the bus

The light you shined upon me

Helped to grow the garden of my soul

How you forgot, I'll never know

You think you lag behind, but no

See, you a part of me

Same blood is flowing thru our arteries

Regardless of how far we go

You live within this heart I show and share

Bro, it ain't fair

The fact that you could want to disappear

The truth that's spoken you should hear

The Father's love; don't have to fear

It's yours, no need for wishing

Wouldn't be me if your presence was missing

Thank you
