Echos Sweep Us Back In (Ver2)

by RadianceInReverse   May 22, 2011


Here comes the echo again
pounding into the back of my mind
the sound is getting so loud
I can feel it shaking to the ground
there goes my heart pounding
out of my chest
theres no rest for the innocent
while wicked dreams
cast dark shadows, our nightmares

I'm losing all grasp
on the real till I see
the ocean waves
rapidly beating us down
onto the shores we despise
I know it will survive every test
unlike the weak,
strength brings us closer

Here comes my savior in disguise
he's hidden deep among the restless
keeping all the evil at bay
protected along the hearts
of the shameless
this love is painless
without reason to be afraid

We're on the edge of sanity
and its knocking at our doors
begging us to let it into
a world we no longer adore
It's biting at our heals
relentless as we
scrape for freedom

All echos fade from here
nothing but the stars to guide us home
there we'll find the hearts
that hold us close
saving our souls
there you stand strong
and I'll give you my love to mold
no questions asked
all stories told
kiss me now, for I am cold
I'm longing for this touch
to soothe me and make me whole
but here I am still standing cold
My soul is calling to you
reaching for that warmth

But your eyes see right through
the hole I wish to conceal
with your arms around me now
this emotion takes me for a ride
and in this life, this journey
theres no need for me to hide.
