[Verse 1]
She said
“Walk quiet
Into the abyss of echoes”
Where every word
Comes back as thunder
Hands on the rail
Eyes on the floor
They praise their own reflections
Like they’re holy water
[Chorus]
In the abyss of echoes
It just gets deeper
Voices grow fewer
But somehow louder
Clinging to their stories
Like they’re breathing through a tube
Every shouted truth
Just one more crowded room
[Verse 2]
He said
“Breathe steady
Through this borrowed mask”
Faith taped up
Like a label on glass
No one asks a question
Only chants it back
Choirs built of mirrors
All facing the past
[Chorus]
In the abyss of echoes
It just gets deeper
Voices grow fewer
But somehow louder
Clinging to their stories
Like they’re breathing through a tube
Every shouted truth
Just one more crowded room
[Bridge]
What if you whispered
“I don’t know” (I don’t know)
Would the walls fall down
Would the air still flow? (oh)
If we loosened our grip
On the lines we rehearsed
Would the silence heal us
Or break us first?
[Chorus]
In the abyss of echoes
Can we go deeper?
Fewer old voices
New ones louder
Letting go of stories
Like we’re learning how to breathe
Every honest question
Finally sets us free (sets us free)
