Echoes
Tom Klose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
they leak from the shadows ring out in my sleep to find and remind me of times
that used to be
Take me far away echoes of yesterday the long-forgotten slumbering remains time to face the demons of yesterday a bittersweet and smothering delay
I’ll come clean with the past make peace with the battle at last I’m not afraid
My long-lost companions regret and remorse appear and all of my fears they are here
like a family reunion the one that was overdue they align and rewind to the times
I’ve been trying to
Push so far away echoes of yesterday the long-forgotten slumbering remains time to face the demons of yesterday a bittersweet and smothering delay
I’ll come clean with the past make friends with the devil at last I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
