I wake up, stare at the ceiling
Lights are on, but I’m not feeling
Brush my teeth, play the part
But my chest's been quiet — no heart
Everyone laughs, I nod along
But deep inside, something feels wrong
I smile when I know I should
Not ‘cause I’m happy, just 'cause I could
There’s a voice that sounds like mine
Repeats my past, line by line
Questions I don’t wanna hear
But they echo loud and clear
I hear echoes inside
Of things I never said out loud
Of dreams I left behind
Of love I lost and never found
They don't scream, they just repeat
The sound of someone incomplete
And I try to run, but there's no outside
'Cause all the noise is…
Echoes inside
I talk less now, keep things short
Learned to lie with less effort
Not 'cause I’m fake, just tired as hell
Of explaining things I can’t tell
Sometimes I miss who I once was
But I buried him in quiet dust
Now I just move through the day
Like I owe the world delay
I hear my name inside my brain
But it don’t sound like me again
Feels like I left a while ago
But forgot to let them know
I hear echoes inside
Of things I never said out loud
Of dreams I left behind
Of love I lost and never found
They don't scream, they just repeat
The sound of someone incomplete
And I try to run, but there's no outside
'Cause all the noise is…
Echoes inside
If you’ve ever felt like this
Like you're here, but missing...
Then maybe you’ve heard them too
The echoes
Inside
