The Art Of Letting Go

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I’ve been treading water ever since my feelings changed

I fell out of order, didn’t feel the same

Looking in the mirror, didn’t recognize my face

The painted on facanes, slipping out of place

I've been trying, trying, trying

To go back to who I was

But, I've been lying, lying, lying

To myself but at what cost

I surrender all control

And everything I think I know

I've been high and I've been low

Swallowed by a black

H-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-le

H-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-le

I'm not giving up, I'm finally letting go

I've been turning metal

Heavy metal into gold

Baptized by the fire, just so I can grow

Pushing out the concrete, pushing like a stubborn rose

Now that I’m in bloom, all my colors show

I've been trying, trying, trying

To go back to who I was

But, I've been lying, lying, lying

To myself but at what cost

I surrender all control

And everything I think I know

I've been high and I've been low

Swallowed by a black

H-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-le (black hole)

H-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-le

I'm not giving up, I'm finally letting go

Now I've got the freedom, no need to be sad

Everything I wanted, I already had

I just didn't know-oh there was an art to letting go

I just didn't know-oh there was an art to letting go

I just didn't know-oh (I just didn't know) there was an art to letting go

I just didn't know-oh (I just didn't know) there was an art to letting go

I surrender all control

And everything I think I know

I've been high and I've been low

Swallowed by a black

H-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-le (let go)

H-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-le

I'm not giving up, I'm finally letting go

I didn't know there was an art to letting go
