TOBY - Echoes lyrics
rate mewe are the children of the wounded who try to do their best through the eyes of a child echoes running through their heads (hook) echoes, echoes, echoes running through my mind just let go, let go, let go nowhere to hide echoes, echoes, echoes running through my mind just let go, let go, let go nowhere to hide used to look into my father's eyes saw the struggle, but he never stopped to cry when in poverty there's not the time you gotta bottle it and hope the product is not too violent has me wondering how does one recover when they see their mother burn alive right there in front of them? only fifteen, oldest of his siblings forced to raise them while holding to his big dreams and underneath the surface that pain was waiting to come up in a burst and sometimes, my brother got it first and he'd pass it along to me to cover up the hurt one day, when it all overloaded I had it up to here but didn't know how to show it so before I might get afraid I closed my eyes tight and punched him right in the face jumped back uncontrollably shaken awaiting the return but he showed me restraint in that space we owned our mistakes and I felt in that moment we'd broken a chain learned to respect the work ethic he said the words never accept the first edit expect the worst but don't let the nerves get it I try to forget the hurt but the echoes return yelling (hook) echoes, echoes, echoes running through my mind just let go, let go, let go nowhere to hide echoes, echoes, echoes running through my mind just let go, let go, let go nowhere to hide (bridge) feel it coming back again feel it coming back again feel it coming back again feel it coming back again feel it coming back again feel it coming back again feel it coming back again feel it coming back again look mom, if I had a penny every time your lies passed as truth I'd save up till I could buy back my youth went for days with a bowl of dried vomit poured urine on me, forced me to sit in ice water I'd fight harder and cry but why bother the bi-product I thought I'd always need my guard up there was love in every little punishment but ignoring your past, you ended up becoming it repressed memories are like a disease that show no symptoms till you die in your sleep exposing everyone that might be in reach so it comes no surprise to me you don't remember or choose to admit abuse that you did when you don't remember a thing from when you were a kid it lingers and the truth of it is if you don't confront it your children are due to relive it falling in the trap of blaming you for my mistakes acknowledging the cracks, making use of the shapes you will never be an excuse, forever be my purpose the strength in my voice, the direction to the urgency and every word I speak is a testament to your lessons that nurtured me the learning and encouragement that nurtured my dreams but every now and then the echoes return as screams (hook) echoes, echoes, echoes running through my mind just let go, let go, let go nowhere to hide echoes, echoes, echoes running through my mind just let go, let go, let go nowhere to hide (bridge) feel it coming back again feel it coming back again feel it coming back again feel it coming back again feel it coming back again feel it coming back again feel it coming back again feel it coming back again
