Echoes
As Ember Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
These eyes won't comfort you, they'll just let you fall
Where you find solace you'll find shelter in me
c little lost, but now I'm full of intrigue
c burning ember, a glimpse into your soul
c little drink and now you don't feel so small
I'll be the hero, I'll be the enemy
What if I cannot find you, what if I don't arrive
You'll shiver in the darkness, lost to the sands of time
I'll run away from this world, I'll find another place
Far from the toiling masses, far from the masquerade
This masquerade
These echoes on the airwaves, moments that glow in time
They leave us wanting more they, they all but pass us by
These efforts all but wasted, the triumphs of our lives
These echoes on the airwaves, stay with me all the time
I don't feel feelings, don't feel nothing at all
These eyes won't comfort you, they'll just let you fall
Where you find solace you'll find shelter in me
c little lost, but now I'm full of intrigue
What if I cannot find you, what if I don't arrive
You'll shiver in the darkness, lost to the sands of time
I'll run away from this world, I'll find another place
Far from the toiling masses, far from the masquerade
This masquerade
This masquerade
