Just These Ghosts - Echo Lyrics

I take a second then I turn away
In the moments when I feel afraid
It's building up from on the inside
It's so much closer than you realize

That's not to say I can't hold my breath as I plead my case
And I
Check once and twice again
Cause I'd never leave you alone my friend
But there's a reason that I feel pain
And the answer's never the same
Telling the world that we are so strange
But if you're asking me that's ok so I'll say

That I don't know
How we got here
But all I know
Is I'm still speaking back to my own echo

Waking up and feeling instant fear
Days I can't look myself in the mirror
I'm staring back at empty faces
Split in so many different places

Words said in time
That pulse around in my faded mind
So you've
Said once and then again
To live my life you're in defense
But there's a reason that I feel pain
And the answer's never the same
Telling the world that we are so strange
But if you're asking me that's ok so I'll say
