RISE AGAINST - This Is Letting Go lyrics

rate me

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything.

Always stepped in time, regardless of the beat

I moved my feet, I carried weight

When I could not do a thing

And I'm done seeking treasure

Just to wake up in an early grave

So I stopped right there and said

Go all alone, 'cause I won't follow.

This isn't giving up, no this is letting go

Out with the old dreams I've borrowed

The path I call from here on out will be my own

The path will be my own

This is the part where the needle skips

And the chorus plays like a sick that drips

A syllable repeating, like a warning we're not heeding

Until all is said and we noticed it

When the wheels brace and the tires grip

A map we've been misreading

A defeat we're not conceding

Until now

There must be some other way out

Go all alone, 'cause I won't follow

This isn't giving up no this is letting go

Out with the old dreams I've borrowed

The path I call from here on out will be my own

A path to take me home

(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! )

The wind died

The whole world ceased to move

Now so quiet

Her beating heart became a boom

We locked eyes

For just a moment or two

She asked why

I said "I don't know why"

I just know

The wind died

The whole world ceased to move

Now so quiet

Her beating heart became a boom

We locked eyes

For just a moment or two

She asked why

I said "I don't know why"

I just know

I just know

Go all alone, 'cause I won't follow

This isn't giving up, no this is letting go

I'll make the most of all this sorrow

I tried to break these tears' contempt but now I'm through

I'm letting go of you.

This is letting go

This is letting go

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything.
