Echo

This has haunted me for years
I've been dodging the mirror so long
I cant escape the pain when it wastes me away
How long till you rest your head
Quiet your mind
Don't fade away
Can I wipe the slate clean
When I'm staring the ghost in the eye
These phantom hands
They pull me down
Chilling the breath in my chest
I gasp
And the cycle repeats

I can(I can feel this whole world as It's falling)
Feel this whole world (Down on me)
(And my lungs are Collapsing) collapsing
Breathe (Breathe)
Before I suffocate
Existence is agony
Force fed with eyes red and a loose grip on my sanity
How can I sleep this off
Xanax and nicotine designing a life of self reprisal

I've been locking up my senses
Just to forge a violent scar
I'd rather blind my body than
Face the ethereal
If I wallow in my sorrow
And let it become
My salvation I'll surely die but
I wont rest in peace
Not until I can
Fight this curse
These words wont be the last you'll hear from me
With what faith I've retained
I still call for god but I feel I've had enough
Of the silence it resonates with ill resound
I need an out
Oh hell I fear the sound
And with what strength remains
I swear to you i'll find resolution
I'll find a way out
I still feel this whole world as its crashing
Down on me
Feel my lungs are collapsing
Teach me to breath
Before I suffocate
Stalwart dreams persist to sway my mind
Towards this resolution
But I twist and turn my eyes
Victim to the pull of my own demise

And every breath I take is a Testament
I've left where I came from
And every breath I take is a test to me
I know this because
You are never really all alone
You are blessed with a shadow
You are never really all alone
You can not hide
So walk with your echo
