Let Me Let Go

I wrote my name in breathless air

Where the ceiling waits like a cold-eyed prayer

The light above began to sway

A gentle noose to end the play

The chair confessed its final sin

Beneath my heels the fall begins

My heartbeat climbed the attic walls

And slipped beneath the silence calls

The robe of a lover made of thread

Whispered stories of the dead

And as the world grew small and thin

I wore my fate beneath my chair

No tears left for second tries

No more gods to hear my cries

Let me let go, let me let go

I've held on too long, now I'm losing control

Let me let go, let me let go

This pain's too loud, and it's stealing my soul

Let me let go, let me let go

There's peace in the dark, where the broken ones go

Let me let go, just let me let go

The blade had danced like a truth set free

A silver swan in crimson sea

Each vein a hallway locked for years

Now floods the sink with quiet tears

The mirror blinked but looked away

Afraid to watch me drift to grey

My hands they trembled with release

A silent kind of violent peace

No rage, no scream, no bitter tone

Just soft surrender bled alone

The tiles caught every drop of me

A portrait signed in misery

I carved the words I couldn't say

And watched my life just slip away

Let me let go, let me let go

I've held on too long now I'm losing control

Let me let go, let me let go

This pain's too loud, and it's stealing my soul

Let me let go, let me let go

There's peace in the dark, where the broken ones go

Let me let go

I'm not afraid to die, I'm afraid to break

To watch it all vanish, to bend till I shake

I'm built from nothing, too many times

Just to lose it all on someone else's crimes

I can't go back to the fall, the freeze

The begging life to let me breathe
