[Lyric] Release (Crowned in Chains)

[Verse]
If my heart stopped
If no blood pumped
If my veins would rot
I’d make it through

If you looked inside
If you knew my life
If my soul shone bright
I could show you

Life can't slip out this time
Tighten your grip on the light
Let go of everything inside
You’ll find strength in release

[Chorus]
Release
(Repeat)

[Verse]
If my soul splintered
If my spirit withered
If I rationalize the sinner
I wouldn’t make it through
If you looked inside
And saw me void of light
If you saw the way I fight
You’d see me fall through

My life won’t slip out of sight
Tighten my grip on the mic
I let go of all I held inside
I found strength in release

[Chorus]
Release
(Repeat)

[Bridge]
I've been rained on
I've been hailed on
I've been struck by lightning
I've given up the fight
Rain still pours down
I'm still beaten down
When the storm strikes me
You keep on fighting

I've been rained on
I've been hailed on
I've been struck by lightning
I've given up the fight
Rain still pours down
I'm still beaten down
When the storm strikes me
You keep on fighting
I tighten my grip on the mic
And let go of everything inside
And find strength in release

[Outro: Daniel Sherman]
My internal gravity predicts a turn
But it's not there
I shared the war in metaphoric terms
And it killed my fear
Sometimes the key to describing pain
Is describing something else
This gave me greater understanding of myself
I found my strength through lyrical release

(End with whispered version of HOURGLASSALGROUH's "oh oh"s, making the album a perfect loop. Each song will seamlessly transition into each other, and this song will transition into the top of the album)
