Tear Down the Echoes

---

I've been drowning in the static,

lost between the calm and manic.

Every whisper in my mind

tries to pull me out of line.

I kept my voice behind the walls,

too scared to speak, afraid to fall.

But silence never saved my skin —

it only let the dark begin.

---

I’m done with hiding in my head…

I’ll burn the words I never said.

---

Tear down the echoes — I’m learning to breathe,

and every scar I carry is a vow to be free.

I’m louder than the fear I used to obey…

I won’t fade — not today.

---

I felt the weight,

the pressure breaking every part of me —

the voices twisting truth

until I couldn’t fucking see.

You said be strong,

but never saw me dying slow —

I fought the battles

you would never even know.

I clawed my way through every lie you fed,

I carried worlds that made me wish I fled.

But even pieces can learn how to rise —

I’m not afraid of my own mind.

---

No more silence…

I’ll shatter every lie inside this violence.

---

Tear down the echoes — I’m learning to breathe,

and every scar I carry is a vow to be free.

I’m louder than the fear I used to obey…

I won’t fade — not today.

I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF BEING BROKEN BY MY FEAR!

I’LL TEAR THE SHADOWS OUT OF ME — I’M SHIFTING GEARS!

TELL ME WHO I’D BE

IF I LET FEAR WIN!

TELL ME WHAT’S LEFT

IF I NEVER BREAK IN!

I WON’T BE A SHADOW!

I WON’T BE A SOUND!

I’LL BE THE THUNDER

THAT SHAKES THE GROUND!

---

Tear down the echoes — I’m breaking away!

I won’t be the ghost that I was yesterday!

I’m done with the shadows controlling my sight —

I’m taking back the fire they tried to steal from my life!

Tear down the echoes — I’m learning to breathe,

and every scar I carry is a vow to be free.

I’m louder than the fear I used to obey…

I won’t fade —

not today.
