Amit Cohen - Echoes Lyrics

When your thoughts won't allow you to rest
And you know that it's all going wrong
When you feel what is weak in your heart
And it hits like it hasn't for long

Every song that I write is a risk
As I try to get rid of this load
But I end up digging in deeper
To a wound with some chords down the road

I gamble on what's left
I can't afford to lose
The rope burns in my head
Are all that's left to let go

I'm lost, but wide awake
Can't help but stay confused
I crave the agony
Of holding on to echoes

I've been traveling in every direction
Taking step after step just in case
I've been waiting so I can keep losing
Getting truth after trust in my face

Tell me why are you feeding my memories
Just to keep playing songs on repeat
Show me how I can fail without falling
Without calling this story complete

I gamble on what's left
I can't afford to lose
The rope burns in my head
Are all that's left to let go

I'm lost, but wide awake
Can't help but stay confused
I crave the agony
Of holding on to echoes

I asked you to be careful so you wouldn't hurt me
And you were, so why am I restless
I begged you to be gentle so I can't get my hopes back up
And you were, and still I am anxious

I gamble on what's left
I can't afford to lose
The rope burns in my head
Are all that's left to let go

I'm lost, but wide awake
Can't help but stay confused
I crave the agony
Of holding on to echoes
