The Echo Chamber

[Verse 1]
Live life, I try, survive
Another breath, just to stay alive
But deep inside, the question burns
A cycle of lessons, unlearned
When you already know the answer
To my own frantic, desperate cancer.

[Chorus]
Just deflect the mindset of better
My soul’s a worn-out, tattered letter
End up in the mind of I remember
Flickering embers, cold December
I should try to be a better me
But the ghost of what was won't set me free.

[Verse 2]
The sun still rises, paints the sky
Another day, I watch it fly
I chase the horizon, a fleeting gleam
Lost in the fragments of a forgotten dream
But the same old whispers start to creep
Secrets that my conscience keeps.

[Chorus]
Just deflect the mindset of better
My soul’s a worn-out, tattered letter
End up in the mind of I remember
Flickering embers, cold December
I should try to be a better me
But the ghost of what was won't set me free.

[Bridge]
Is this all there is, this endless fight?
Chasing shadows in the pale moonlight
Each step forward, a step behind
Leaving pieces of myself to find.

[Chorus]
Just deflect the mindset of better
My soul’s a worn-out, tattered letter
End up in the mind of I remember
Flickering embers, cold December
I should try to be a better me
But the ghost of what was won't set me free.
