Restraint & Release Lyrics

Hey!
Did the killer in your body, the intruder in our union, kill your rage?
Where's your sense of adventure?
Has the power and the danger been restrained?

I'm not asking you for answers
I'm not asking of you things that we can't change
But you brave and burdened starlet
I am asking you to shock yourself awake
Cause the soul
It will not cater to our reason
Nor the passing of the seasons in our wake
I'm not buying what they're selling
I'm not taking what they're throwing in my face

So don't shut me out again
So don't shut me out again
So don't shut me out again

Hey!
I'm not ending in no contest
I'm not bending nor will I equivocate
Unlike weaker of our genus
We evolve from every terrible mistake

How can't you see?
Can't you see me take off my winter clothes?
Those bastards fear us radicals the most
Cause the soul will not cater to our reason
Nor the passing of the seasons in our wake
I'm not buying what they're selling
I'm not taking what they're throwing in our face

So don't shut me out again
So don't shut me out again

Hey!
Did the killer in your body, the intruder in our union, kill your rage?
Where's your sense of adventure?
Has the power and the danger been restrained?

I'm not asking you for answers
I'm not asking of you things that we can't change
But you brave and burdened starlet
I am asking you to shock yourself awake
Cause the soul
It will not cater to our reason
Nor the passing of the seasons in our wake
I'm not buying what they're selling
I'm not taking what they're throwing in my face

So don't shut me out again
So don't shut me out again
So don't shut me out again

Hey!
I'm not ending in no contest
I'm not bending nor will I equivocate
Unlike weaker of our genus
We evolve from every terrible mistake

How can't you see?
Can't you see me take off my winter clothes?
Those bastards fear us radicals the most
Cause the soul will not cater to our reason
Nor the passing of the seasons in our wake
I'm not buying what they're selling
I'm not taking what they're throwing in our face

So don't shut me out again
So don't shut me out again

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
