I filled the dark with borrowed light Spoke too loud to feel alive Every step, a fragile show Every truth I’d never know ... I learned the weight of empty praise How every fire ends in grey What I gave, what I let go Now it fades to afterglow ... Now the room breathes slow The night stands still All that’s left of me Is what I couldn’t kill ... Nothing but the echo Where my voice once stayed Nothing but the echo Of the words I played No applause, no sign No hand to hold Just the sound of time Growing old ... I wore desire like a name Let it shape me, let it stay Every role, a perfect lie Every ending passed me by ... When the silence speaks I finally hear Not who I was But why I’m here ... I fade into the sound I leave no solid ground Every word I know Turns to echo No sign, no reply Just the space passing by What I couldn’t hold Turns to echo ... Let them forget the sound Let it dissolve in air I was here I was there ... Nothing but the echo After all is done Nothing but the echo When the light is gone No curtain call No last hello Just a name Turning into echo
