Let Me Go
[Hook: ? & Blake Whiteley]
Let me go (Let me go)
Let me go (Just let me be)
Let me go (Let me go)
Go

[Verse 1: Blake Whiteley]
You take me to the clouds, I feel like I could fly away
When I'm needin' an escape, You been my hiding place
What an allure, the thrill, I just need more
In my darkness, You're disguised as light so bright I can't ignore
You take my pain, don't erase it, just become my Novacaine
I just get numb 'til I feel shame, then I put You back in my veins, yeah
Am I insane thinkin' it would be differеnt?
Hopeless to my addiction, can I still say I'm a Christian? 'Cause I
Rеad every Scripture, no service I'm not attendin'
My libraries overflow, I don't know why I'm still trippin'
But then I hear You whisper this something that I've been missin'
Take my eyes off all my sin and put back on the crucifixion
He died for me, there's nothing that we can do to take away
All this love we don't deserve, yeah, that's why they call it grace
And I'm free not to obey, get on my knees and pray
That everything that you've been fighting, you'll do it all through His grace and let it go

[Hook: ?]
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Go
[Verse 2: Clayton Jennings]
Broads and bullets always come flying in from the blindside
Broadway with a broadside, blond hair with brown eyes
Not Aubrey, but she's got hotlines
Sandra, could you help me? I'm not homeless, but I'm not fine
Blue eyes, but I got a blue mind
So many times I almost blew mine
But I blew past my peers because I never blew time
Except for those few times
Not once, and maybe more than two times
What's it like to be trapped in a school? 'Cause I'm out mine
I guess that's why I can out-rhyme
Any single wordsmith from our time
No beat, but you still can't beat mine
Never said I could outflow, I said out-line
Like a chalk around a dead body found outside
I'm "o-pen-iated" in person unlike parrots online
Suicidal followers, feel like a bad parent sometimes
Bipolar, it's like I got two minds
Break down this verse like a Sunday morning outline
Poet, tip my hat to the Most High on Sabbath sunrise
Ghost girls, no friends, no guys
My walls high, can't get in, mind's cold, why it's called ice
I get anxiety, and it's a big world
"It's okay, Clayton, be a big girl"
You mock me, but it shows me
Time is money, and I'm on your mind, that means that you owe me
Popularity's growing, wish it were slowing
Grateful but be careful when people approach me
I see comments by liars, and you people don't know me
Is this too real? Am I too in your face?
Don't blame me, blame Hunter and this interface
I use these words to put you in your place
Far-right lane on the Interstate
Slow your roll, we were never meant to date
You call it fate, and I call it fake
"Ooh, yeah, girl, quote that Scripture, I can't wait"
The one you googled right before this date
Noodled it on that napkin, stuck it next to your dinner plate
It's okay, I don't judge
I just love and then shove ya right to the curb
Played with people's hearts like I play with these words
Catching feelings or Covid, which one's worse?
Angels and demons, which witch is which and which one's cursed?
The Devil comes as an angel of light, and you get cursed then worked
No hospitals for Christians, kicked out of the Church
Their hearts or God's, I wonder which hurts worse
We offer comets for comments, condemn the fallen to Hell, they're the worst
But Jesus offered water for the wanting, covering the forgotten with water for thirst
We'd rather see people in Hell than meet them at the well
When the fallen get x-rayed we watch from our shell
Anxious about the stories our own skeletons tell
Kicking people when they're down makes the insecure sleep well
They hate themselves after all
That's why the smallest people take their shots after the fall of someone tall
Some people celebrate success, some pray for the fall
Guard up full-time, I let it down rarely
"God said that we were gonna get married"
I must've heard it a hundred times
Corny pick up lines like harvest traffic pick up lines
Trucks with corn... Never mind, I never break down my lines
Because the only thing that breaks down on me is my mind
"God said marry me this time"
I know it's kinda scary, their words, not mine
I'd just say, "Thank you", and wait for the next person in line
Could put curses in cursive with every word, every line
People keep my name on their lips, but I keep 'em off of mine
Hate heights, so bound to hate high standards, can't walk the line
I hate being a public figure when it's better to be offline
But what about that kid at the back of the line?
Suicidal thoughts in the back of his mind
I do it for him or her or whoever else
Hate the dark, don't want people to ever feel what I felt
Or feel what I feel like esthesia is real
You've never been to Hell 'til you know how it feels
Guess that's what I get for taking medications for meals
People love me or hate me, but real recognizes real
Goosebumps, baby, yeah, you can't pay for that feel
And a feel is what they want, some in a daze
Social media is a court room, we're all judges these days
Fake power, fake gavels, fake accounts, fake names
Most of these people bought their followers, fake fame
Clayton Jennings, Johnny Cash, different names, same brain
Less fame, same game
Man in black, man in white, but story's the same
So to the self-righteous with a whole lot to say
Wishing right now that you'd never pressed play?
But you also press play on sex things
Sex games with the next name
But you're still a virgin? Interesting
Doesn't take four to play foreplay
From texting to sexting
Hookup's the next thing
Called hookup 'cause you got caught hookin' a knot
Think you're separated? Ya not
I get tempted a lot, trade the shame for a shot
Not Jack Daniel's, a Glock to pop
You know my name 'cause you say it a lot
Some pray for my rise, others wish I would rot
Only God can judge me, and I pray that He doesn't
Would rather go to Heaven a nobody than go to Hell buzzin'
So all the hate? I don't mind, just more fuel for my minds
Pro-pain, the only type of fuel we're taking this time
People ignore my mountains and celebrate my blue times
I let rumors slide like smooth lines
Those lonely nights, those blue nights
Those oceans lights, those you nights
Those "kiss me, me kiss you" nights
Those "hold me close" for goodbyes
Those "miss you, I miss you" flights
Those "are you sure you can't miss this flight?"
Eve with an apple, one bite can ruin the rental like a dirtbike
Evil, but what's just one bite? Jezebel, you're so sly
Wish you'd get this girl off of my mind
So foul, but so fine
Two shots from that foul line
Apologize for that foul line
Here, let me paint a new line
I guess it's fitting, already been known to two-time
[Hook: ?]
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Go

[Verse 3: Blake Whiteley]
Ay
What if I relapse? The thought of it's hauntin'
I know I'm sorry, I sound like a broken record every time that we talkin'
This happens often
In the moment, the feelin' is awesome
In the morning, I feel so exhausted
In the shower, I stand for an hour hopin' to get washed out by the faucet
God, I'm sorry, I know that I lost it
Give me another chance like You already did in the book of Colossians
Standin' here sobbin'
But You gave me the power to stop it
I'm becomin' now what I'm watchin'
I'm alive but been playin' 'possum
You are the only way I can blossom
You are life, there's no better option
I'm alone, but I know that You watchin'
Saw the signs, and I ignored the cautions
Saw the yellow lines there, and I crossed 'em
Nowadays fallin' short of the cost
I made a mistake, okay, then toss 'em
He ain't perfect then I gotta get off him
Get a hammer, put a nail in the coffin, look
[?]
Nails in his feet and his wrists
Booby traps set there, so I trip
What you like, and it's there in a click
One more time, and she said it was it
Baby cryin', now she's throwin' a fit
I'm so ashamed by what I just did
That I don't have the patience dealing with this
Build a home, and I'm losing a brick
Losing myself, and I'm hurting my kids
Grab a hold, but I'm losing my grip
On the edge, lookin' over the cliff
I am strong, but I'm startin' to drift
One more time, it'll give me fix
But that one time's killin' me slowly, making me weak, and it wants me to quit
But I am no quitter, no, let me go, 'cause I'm lettin' go of all of this
Grabbin' a hold tight, put my hand in Your palm and close like we ballin' a fist
God, it's just me and You, what I need to do, take, You give all of it
'Cause I'm lettin' go, let me go, I'm breaking links, where You go then I'm followin', yeah
[Hook: ?]
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Go

[Verse 4: ?]
Yeah
Life at the tip of my fingers
Feel it slippin' away
I was just a beginner
And I made some mistakes
On this road [?]
Had no examples, never tasted love, just had samples
Tried to carry things that only God handles
Got a mandate to carry my mantle
Made it this far, and God, I thank You, got snakes bitin' at my ankles
Fightin' spiritual battles that's not natural
Enemy attackin', and he let you know
I was feeling weak, but You made me whole

[Verse 5: ?]
They don't understand me, they think they know me, but they really don't
I'm at the edge, and I wanna jump
I'm in the storm, and I'm on the boat
See You walk on water, and You give me hope
You call me out, and You know I go
I'm lettin' go, I let it flow
You all I know, Lord, help me grow
I kill my flesh, it's dying slow
I love You, Jesus, I let it show
Hold me close, don't let me go
Wish You were me, and I let 'em know
You picked me up, and You saved my soul
Got a stained past, all I see is ghosts
Take me high, Father, let me float
Surrender all, I let it go

[Hook: ?]
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Go
