“Let It Roll”

Surrounded by darkness, these voices call out for me to play

They sing my name and they make me go insane

Like an echo in the distant they slowly start to fade away

They call to me to spread my wings like a crane

In my dreams I run in circles like I’m in a maze

Won’t somebody save me, they have their reign on me

In my nightmares, thoughts on repeat like it’s a new dance craze

Please somebody save me, they keep consuming me

Cornered in a box with my back against the wall

Tears fall from my eyes as I cry a waterfall

The loneliness is daunting it makes me shout

If you hear my cries, won’t you please help break me out

I carry this load around oh it’ll be my downfall

Putting up a fight trying to stand tall

But it’s weighing me down, I must drop this ball

A slip of the tongue, baby let it roll

(go on and free your mind)

Now your secret’s out, baby let it roll

(nothing can hurt you)

Crying your last tears, baby let it roll

(all those who matter won’t mind)

Curved up in a ball, baby let it roll

(shake it off and be the real you )

It’s time to swallow my pride

And show the world what I’m hiding inside

Open up the windows to welcome in the sun

Everyone knows it’s easier said than done

I’ve been searching for an escape but to no avail

The more I try to fight it the more I seem to fail

Cornered in a box with my back against the wall

Tears fall from my eyes as I cry a waterfall

The loneliness is daunting it makes me shout

If you hear my cries, won’t you please help break me out

I carry this load around oh it’ll be my downfall

Putting up a fight trying to stand tall

But it’s weighing me down, I must drop this ball

A slip of the tongue, baby let it roll

(go on and free your mind)

Now your secret’s out, baby let it roll

(nothing can hurt you)

Crying your last tears, baby let it roll

(all those who matter won’t mind)

Curved up in a ball, baby let it roll

(shake it off and be the real you )

Just let it roll, roll, roll, Yeah

Working over time is simply wasting my time

Taking risks is the key to reaching my prime

Buried deep in snow, who will dig me up

Stop hiding in the cracks in the end it’ll be fine

Show my colors bright in the sky, it’s time to shine

It’s possible in the end I may hit rock bottom

It’s just as possible, in the end I’ll reach the potential I could not fathom

Cornered in a box with my back against the wall

Tears fall from my eyes as I cry a waterfall

The loneliness is daunting it makes me shout

If you hear my cries, won’t you please help break me out

I carry this load around oh it’ll be my downfall

Putting up a fight trying to stand tall

But it’s weighing me down, I must drop this ball

But it’s weighing me down, I must drop this ball

A slip of the tongue, baby let it roll

(go on and free your mind)

Now your secret’s out, baby let it roll

(nothing can hurt you)

Crying your last tears, baby let it roll

(all those who matter won’t mind)

Curved up in a ball, baby let it roll

(shake it off and be the real you )

Baby don’t look back, come on let it roll

Just let it roll, roll, roll

Oh yeah, yeah, roll, roll, roll

Baby let it roll
