echoes

Yeah… Hear that…? That’s me… echoing… Voices in my head like an empty hall Every word bounce back when I let it fall Talk to myself but it don’t feel strange When the silence too loud, it’ll drive you insane Late night pacing, shadows on the wall Every step I take, hear it double when it call Echoes of the past, yeah they never fade Every choice I made still replay in my brain I said “I’m good,” but the sound came back Like the truth got lost in the way I act Tried to move on, tried to let it go But the past hit replay like an endless show Echoes… calling my name Every whisper sounding the same I run, I hide, still feel that weight Like my own voice sealed my fate Echoes… stuck in my mind No escape, nowhere to hide If I scream, it just repeats I’m chasing me in empty streets Cold air, breath turn into smoke Every word I said feel like a ghost Haunting these halls that I built alone Now I’m trapped inside of my own tone Every regret got a louder ring Every “what if” got a tighter sting If I could go back, would I change that path? Or would it just echo the same old past? I hear footsteps—but it’s just me Reflection talking in a frequency Out of phase with the life I live Hearing things I can’t forgive Echoes… breaking me down Every silence screaming too loud I speak, but I don’t feel heard Like I’m just repeating words Echoes… bending the truth Every sound feel slightly skewed If I vanish in what I said Will I still exist in my head? Yeah… No matter how far I go… It follows… Echoes don’t die… They just fade… then come back
