    Let Me Be

    I walk the in the nights darkness to find comfort
    From all of those who expect so much

    (Let me be)

    I scream aloud to empty rooms and fall to my feet
    Praying that someone would save me whilst believing there is no god

    (Let me be)

    I think about all that I haven't accomplished, and how I want something so bad
    About past relationships, my parents, and even what it'll be like when death strikes close ahead
    These thoughts just won't escape my head

    (Let me be)

    I've taken so many beatings from this world
    Been moved to tears more than I can count

    (Let me be)

    I'm afraid, honestly...
    That the pressure will cause me to slip, once again

    (Let me be)

    Liars and greed, lovers and hope
    Revolve around like a planet, yet this comfort is slow

    (I can't see)

    The sun will rise for me someday, I know
    But for now these chains are keeping tied down

    (Let me be)

    A spiral staircase, doubled as a maze
    I keep coming right back to where I've started from

    (Let me see)

    Where to go, in this moment called "Now"
    An instrumental without any sound, plays repeatedly in my heart

    (Let me be)

    Unleashed and unbound and unfound by this extreme anxiety
    Let me be
    Healed, and forgiven and lost in a muted echo of peace
    Please...

    (Let me be)


    I walk the in the nights darkness to find comfort
    From all of those who expect so much
    And I realize I expect too much for myself

    (Let me be) ​
