Echoed Past

"Echoed Past'

Echoes off the wall, hear your voice in the distance
screaming my name, but I'm not listening
another nightmare consumes my mind, a fragile heart filled with lies
a single crack and it will shatter, as the intense pain spreads even faster
leaving this hurt body paralyzed, bound to give up after so many tries...

So many attempts, every single one a failure
questioning myself constantly, is there anything left to stay for
as my exhausted eyes grow darker by the second, wishing to end this
forgotten thoughts return without a warning,
a fire inside my heart keeps on burning
determined to bring back the past, just wanted it to last...

Silent October night, and these old images fill my confused mind
standing in this dark room, and I'm starting to feel worse than before
a blurred vision, as a staggered breath erupts from me
a lost heart has left me here broken and torn...

A tragedy built from within, I've created this mess that I'm currently trapped in
I'm lacking all forms of honesty, stopped walking now I'm crawling
slowly down this path of confusion, feels like I'm barely moving
could of sworn that I loved you, but that emotion turned out to be not true...

A complicated myth created to feel happiness,
what person could of believed it
this corrupt society that now surrounds me,
stating that it's made out of equality
but equality is non-existant, in this blood lust world that's crumbling
took time to see through those lies, figured out everything isn't alright
every human being wears an invisible mask,
a mask to hide their sorrowful past...

Silent October night, and these old images fill my confused mind
standing in this dark room, and I'm starting to feel worse than before
a blurred vision, as a staggered breath erupts from me
a lost heart has left me here broken and torn, left me torn...

Echoes off the wall, hear your voice in the distance
screaming my name, but I'm not listening...
