I'm carryin' around all these things
That I don't need anymore
A constant pressure that needs releasin'
Oh help me please to let go
Followin' obligation
I should I'm supposed to
A meaningless motion
I'm ready for something new
Keep the distractions at bay
Cut to the root and let the dead fall away
And release all these things
You are holdin' onto
You don't need them anymore
Just breathe and you will see
You were wonderful
Before you did anything
Gold star, A-plus, great job
You're so good at everything
A slippery slope for a young one
Worthiness dependent on deed
Keep the distractions at bay
Cut to the root and let the dead fall away
And release all these things
You are holdin' onto
You don't need them anymore
Just breathe and you will see
You were wonderful
Before you did anything
Is it worth it
This frantic scramble
It's a lie that you'll be more okay
When you're movin' just for moving's sake
And tell me
Is it the real deal
All the accolades unending praise
For a life that you did not create
And release all these things
You are holding onto
You don't need them anymore
Just breathe and you will see
You were wonderful
Before you did anything
And release all these things
You are holding onto
You don't need them anymore
Just breathe and you will see
You were wonderful
Before you did anything
You were wonderful
Before you did anything
