They called me by a name I never knew
Wrote my story in a script they drew
Pages torn, yet I pretend to smile
In echoes I walk, mile after mile
But I was never really there
A shadow in their perfect air
Now I sing with lips unclaimed
Echoes of a vanished name
I learned to talk in silent rooms
Taught myself to bleed in tune
Played the hero in their fable
Chained beneath a marble table
But I was never really there
A shadow in their perfect air
Now I sing with lips unclaimed
Echoes of a vanished name
So tell me, do you see me now?
Or just a role, rehearsed somehow
This voice you hear, it’s not my own
It’s pieces stitched from flesh and bone
Still I was never really there
Not a face they'd ever spare
Let the silence take the blame
For echoes of a vanished name
