[Intro]

Stay in the echoes of the mind

Where fear grips and ties

Pulling threads of doubt

Afraid of the shape my dreams might take

As they blur what's real and fake

I'm slowly losing faith


[Verse 1]

You used to be my cruise control before I'd lose control

I tend to go way too fast, word to Usain Bolt (Yeah)

But now, you're somebody that I used to know

It's over now and we're older now (Yeah, uh)

I spent years trying to chase you down

I did everything I said I would to make you proud

But what now? It hurts that you're not around (Woo)

And my mama said, "Always be thankful" (Yeah)

But it's getting kind of hard for mе to remain faithful

No, we ain't grateful, nothing in my lifе's okay (Uh)

All the lights, they fade, reflections of a life, so painful (Yeah)


[Pre-Chorus]

It's just me, myself, and I

It's been me and myself since my health declined

No-one else arrived when I needed help to find the way (Uh)

Yell 'cause I'm afraid, it grips the mind


[Chorus]

Stay in the echoes of the mind

Where fear grips and ties

Pulling threads of doubt

Afraid of the shape my dreams might take

As they blur what's real and fake

I'm slowly losing faith

Do I break in the night for the stars?

Or do I fade in the light where my reflection lies?

So bright, hey, the cards were dealt, it's my own fight

I struggle with the shadows, unless I'm shining


[Verse 2]

I struggle in the shadow of your legacy (Yeah)

It's troubling to hate my own identity (Ah)

Looking in the mirror, there's not a friend to me (Ah)

'Cause I'm my own worst enemy

Oh, there's not a remedy, folks

When you're at the end of the road

I've got some tendencies that tend to erode

Can't even cope with the jealousy, nope

Envious bloke and it shows

I think it's time I head for the door (Yeah)

I been in a crisis, feeling so lifeless

Like why the hell am I like this? (Ah)

Always feeding my vices, demons creep in the night (I)

Their finna be keeping me frightened

Suffice it to say that, "My heart is colder than ice is" (Yeah)


[Pre-Chorus]

It's just me, myself, and I

It's been me and myself since my health declined

No-one else arrived when I needed help to find the way (Uh)

Yell 'cause I'm afraid, it grips the mind


[Chorus]

Stay in the echoes of the mind

Where fear grips and ties

Pulling threads of doubt

Afraid of the shape my dreams might take

As they blur what's real and fake

I'm slowly losing faith

Do I break in the night for the stars?

Or do I fade in the light where my reflection lies?

So bright, hey, the cards were dealt, it's my own fight

I struggle with the shadows, unless I'm shinning
