Echoes

Is this what you've built, on your darkest day
First we cursed, now all we do is pray

We pay the price with a currency we don't possess
Cheating and lying to pass the test of life
To break or to bend
Praying to god to have mercy in the end

The echoes surround me
As do all the ashes of the bridges burned
The walls that compound me
Are speaking in tongues that can't be heard
I wish you could see me
Look further than all the games, all the games we play
There's no one to free me
This is the monster I became

The eyes in the mirror, stare back in an endless void
Burn in the flames, but the ashes feel so cold
After all you destroyed
I blame myself for buying every lie that you sold

And as we look further to find who we really are
Look me in the eyes
These band-aid solutions have left us all scarred
This is who we are

The echoes surround me
As do all the ashes of the bridges burned
The walls that compound me
Are speaking in tongues that can't be heard
I wish you could see me
Look further than all the games, all the games we play
There's no one to free me
You're making monsters out of saints

Drowning
I feel so lost in the waves of the open sea
Doubting
In search of the person who's really me

The echoes surround me
As do all the ashes of the bridges burned
The walls that compound me
Are speaking in tongues that can't be heard
I wish you could see me
Look further than all the games, all the games we play
There's no one to free me
They're making monsters out of saints
