(Verse 1)
Yeah, I been running from the voices, now they catching up
Mirror talks back like it’s had enough
Same face, different pain, I don’t recognize
Every time I try to heal, something else dies
I got dreams but they heavy, feel ‘em weighing me
Every step forward got me questioning
If I’m built for the pressure or I’m breaking down
Smile on the outside, but I’m fading now
I remember nights I was wide awake
Heart racing fast like it might just break
Tried to bury pain, yeah, I let it grow
Now it’s roots in my mind, I can’t let it go
People say “change,” but they don’t see scars
They don’t know the fight just to be this far
I been screaming out but it’s all in vain
When the loudest voice is inside my brain
⸻
(Chorus)
These echoes in my head, they don’t ever leave
Every word they say got a hold on me
Try to shut ‘em out but they cut too deep
Yeah, they know my fears, yeah, they know my weak
I’m fighting shadows I can’t outrun
Past still loaded like a smoking gun
If I fall tonight, will I finally see
Who I am without all this weight on me?
⸻
(Verse 2)
Yeah, I built walls but they closing in
Safe place turned to a lonely den
Every thought got a blade, yeah it cuts precise
Overthinking everything, I pay the price
I been chasing peace but it hides from me
Like it knows all the things that I try to be
Got a war in my chest, hear the battle cry
Truth hurts more when you’re asking “why?”
Why I feel this way when I should be good?
Why I can’t escape what I thought I could?
Every step I take feels like sinking sand
Try to reach for help but I pull my hand
I don’t trust myself, yeah I second-guess
Every single move, every word, confess
If I let you in, will you stay or leave?
That’s the kind of doubt that I never beat
⸻
(Bridge)
Maybe I’m the one that I’m running from
Maybe I’m the war, not the smoking gun
Maybe all the pain got a purpose too
But it’s hard to see when it’s all you knew
⸻
(Chorus)
These echoes in my head, they don’t ever leave
Every word they say got a hold on me
Try to shut ‘em out but they cut too deep
Yeah, they know my fears, yeah, they know my weak
I’m fighting shadows I can’t outrun
Past still loaded like a smoking gun
If I fall tonight, will I finally see
Who I am without all this weight on me?
⸻
(Outro)
Yeah…
If I quiet down, will the noise just fade?
Or am I just stuck in the mess I made?
Still searching for a little clarity…
But these echoes… they got a hold on me.
