Story Behind The Song

This song was initially conceived during a very rough battle with pain after a struggle with cancer. Night after night finding it difficult to sleep and so much to think about.

Song Description

Release Me is a song that starts out slowly speaking about a moment talking with a terminally ill young girl and listening to her bravery despite the inevitable future. The song picks up to highlight the constant struggle with pain and trying to find peace with a situation that will simply always be.

Lyrics

Little eyes they tell me they know how this story goes.
Though they face this monster it barely shows
As I slip she whispers, "I'll be alright".
Reminds me I'm not leaving here tonight.

But this night is too quiet
My mind is restless fight it
I squander for the key
Burn down this beast

Lying in this bed I'm stuck noise inside of me
Gotta get up the nerve to give up and believe
Man I could swear that's my song on the radio
Can't tell this pain is blazin' in stereo

This night is too quiet
My mind is restless fight it
I squander for the key
Burn down this beast and release me

And there's no tellin' when it will end and when it will begin again
And there's no shame in pretending.

This night is too quiet
My mind is restless fight it
I squander for the key
Burn down this beast and release me

Burn, Burn, Burn, Burn
Burn down this beast and release me
Burn, Burn, Burn, Burn
