Echoes

Lyrics

[Intro: Chris Clancy & Tim Lambesis] Buried by the thoughts, I'm bleeding Forged in fire but now I'm seeing How it's haunting me How it's haunting me [Verse 1: Tim Lambesis] Haunted by the price I pay For passion and impulsivity But as the blindness fades away The greatest pain is if I choose to stay [Bridge: Tim Lambesis] A shell of skin around a mind That's spiralin' in a decline 'Cause you're dead inside [Verse 2: Tim Lambesis] Why would I choose to chase a ghost When all I would gain is just more loss? And how could I seek to find my soul As I kill myself to make you whole? Why would I sacrifice my only life when You won't try to simply even take a look inside? [Pre-Chorus: Tim Lambesis] I watched your body stay yet your heart disappear Like mourning your dеath while you're still herе [Chorus 1: Chris Clancy & Tim Lambesis] Hearing echoes, hearing echoes calling (echoes calling me) (Echoes are calling me) This is haunting how it's crushing me (it's crushing me) It's crushing me [Verse 3: Tim Lambesis] I wish there was another way But hope cannot save us The good moments were never gold Just pyrite giving false hope as we grow old [Chorus 2: Chris Clancy & Tim Lambesis, both] Hearing echoes, hearing echoes calling (echoes calling) (Echoes are calling me) This is haunting how it's crushing me (How it's crushing me) Now I'm buried by the thoughts, I'm bleeding Forged in fire but not defeated I struggle on, I can't let go [Breakdown: Tim Lambesis] Let go to become Who I always should have been Become the architect What I was born to build Become the architect Of what I was born to build [Guitar Solo] [Bridge: Chris Clancy] Buried by the thoughts, I'm bleeding Forged in fire but not defeated I struggle on, I can't let go [Chorus 3: Chris Clancy & Tim Lambesis, both] Hearing echoes, hearing echoes calling (echoes calling) (Echoes are calling me) This is haunting how it's crushing me (How it's crushing me) Now I'm buried by the thoughts, I'm bleeding Forged in fire but not defeated I struggle on, I can't let go I struggle on, but now let go (Buried by the thoughts, I'm bleeding) I can't let go (Forged in fire but not defeated) I struggle on, the echoes call [Post-Chorus: Tim Lambesis] They call until I let go No longer haunted [Outro: Tim Lambesis] Become the architect (the architect) Of what I was born to build
