The Echo in the Storm

The Echo in the Storm
​Lyrics
​(Verse 1)
They say he's a brute, a heart of stone
A storm cloud in his eyes, he stands alone
They don't see the ache that bleeds him dry
Or the ghosts of pasts that make him cry
​(Verse 2)
I've been there, I've been so afraid
I've been way too quiet, for far too long
I've been sitting and looking in
And I've been broken, way too many times to count
​(Chorus)
They see the storm, but they don't see the rain
The way the hurt echoes through the pain
A lonely fire burns, misunderstood
I've been there too, and I finally could
See the truth, in the mirror of your soul
A broken part of me that makes you whole
​(Verse 3)
I've known a way out, a time or two
But ended up corrupted, ashamed, and at blame
With no good choices, just silent screams
Chasing after fading hopes and dreams
​(Verse 4)
I've been to the lowest of lows
And to the highest of highs
And all that remains is my trust
Trusting that I'm not alone, there's a reason why
​(Bridge)
Now let the walls you built, crumble and fall
There's so much more out of life, for us all
​(Outro)
I've been there...
I've been there too...
