lyrics

I went fishing for happiness in a stream
But found nothing but my reflection staring back at me
I climbed to the top of the highest trees
But still felt low as the ground beneath me

Please release me from the inside of my head
These thoughts I have are filling me with so much dread
I wish I could escape from how I feel
But this shit keeps getting too real

I searched for answers in the outside world
My void could not be filled by a pretty girl
No one can protect me from myself
Wasting away in my own hell
I wished for hope in a wishing well
But nothing is as ruthless as life itself

Please release me from the inside of my head
These thoughts I have are filling me with so much dread
I wish I could escape from how I feel
But this shit keeps getting too real

Bring me to enlightenment
It's bright outside but dark in here
Too much time spent feeling low
I don't know where to go from here

But it's okay to just be okay
And it's fine to not be fine
Just try not to spend too many days torturing your mind
If enlightenment was found in one day
Then what would be the point?
So I say let that stress go brother and let's go roll another...
(cough)

Please release me from the inside of my head
These thoughts I have are filling me with so much dread
I wish I could escape from how I feel
But this shit keeps getting too real
Please release me from the inside of my head
These thoughts I have are filling me with so much dread
I wish I could escape from how I feel
But this shit keeps getting too real
