Sweet Release

from Normalcy, Please by Paul Ventura

lyrics

i've been awake
throughout every disaster
i started and watched as they'd take

but you're stranger to me
while i'm pulling alarms
you followed the smoke so calmly

i couldn't say
whether we were worth saving
or left at the floor of the lake

you wouldn't need
any promises written
to keep waking up next to me

(chorus)
my sweet release
is waiting for me
to pick up every piece left of me

my sweet release
is waiting on me
and turning every cheek all for me


things i believe
are the sounds of my voice
and that clock that won't quit chasing me

my fall from grace
it's never measured in hours
my friends see it worn on my face

you wouldn't see
all the bad blood
i kept inside me

you wouldn't say
all the bad days that broke you
and told you to look other ways

(chorus)
my sweet release
is waiting for me
to pick up every piece left of me

my sweet release
is waiting on me
and turning every cheek

yeah my world always handles the worse sides of me
yeah my love is the plot that's not worth following
you can't stop wanting something that you'll never need
you're just talking yourself out of the air you breathe

(bridge)
just stay close to me
and we'll lives in the weeds they won't see
just stay close to me

sooner or later
yeah sooner or later
we'll settle on something
we'll settle on something
let's settle on something
on something that we'll never need

(chorus)
my sweet release
is waiting for me
to pick up every piece left of me

my sweet release
is waiting on me
and turning every cheek

yeah my world always handles the worse sides of me
yeah my love is the plot that's not worth following
you can't stop wanting something that you'll never need
you're just talking yourself out of the air you breathe

for the record you'll never be lonely with me
