Echoes

[ Verse 1 ] In this vast expanse of disarray, Questioning the night, doubting the day, Foundations tremble, perceptions fray, Seeking certainty where shadows play. [ Verse 2 ] Wax and flame, the candle deceives, What is truth in what the eye perceives? Underneath where the tangled web weaves, Find the core where the true self believes. [Pre-Chorus] Echoes in the mind, whispers of the arcane, Are these visions real, or just illusions we feign? [Chorus] Dive deep into the vortex of thought, Where existence is questioned, and answers sought, Within the chaos, a truth is wrought, ‘I think, therefore I might be’ is the battle I’ve fought. [ repeat intro ] [ key modulation ] [ Screamed Breakdown] Can I trust what I know, or is all uncertain? Is this a dream from which I can’t awaken? Seeking the 'I' in the storm, Until the veils of illusion are torn. Questions linger like the morning fog, Who am I in this dense monologue? Searching for essence amidst the haze, In this labyrinth, forever a maze. [ melodic guitar solo ] [ variation of opening instrumental ] [ Build ] [ Bass Drop ] [ Melodic Interlude ] [ Build ] [ Bass Drop ] [ Verse 3] Silent whispers in the dead of night, Shadows moving just beyond the sight, Am I the dreamer or merely a dream? In this twisted reality, nothing’s as it seems. [Bridge] Shatter the chains of the evident, In the forge of doubt, my mind’s the instrument, Through the fire of questioning, a path is bent, Towards a dawn of lucid enlightenment. [ Verse ] Silent whispers in the dead of night, Shadows moving just beyond the sight, Am I the dreamer or merely a dream? In this twisted reality, nothing’s as it seems. [ Bridge ] Shatter the chains of the evident, In the forge of doubt, my mind’s the instrument, Through the fire of questioning, a path is bent, Towards a dawn of lucid enlightenment. [ Primal Scream ] Shatter the chains of the evident, In the forge of doubt, my mind’s the instrument, Through the fire of questioning, a path is bent, Towards a dawn of lucid enlightenment. Can I trust what I know, or is all uncertain? Is this a dream from which I can’t awaken? Seeking the 'I' in the storm, Until the veils of illusion are torn. [ Build ] [ Pre-Chorus ] Deceptive senses, misleading scenes, Unveil the truth, strip the guise by all means. Echoes in the mind, whispers of the arcane, Are these visions real, or just illusions we feign? [ Percussion Break ] [ Final Chorus ] Dive deep into the vortex of thought, Where existence is questioned, and answers sought, Within the chaos, a truth is wrought, ‘I think, therefore I might be’ is the battle I’ve fought. In the echo chamber of my thoughts, I scream, Forging reality within this dream, Existence flickers like a distant gleam, In this labyrinth, I am supreme. [ Outro] Now I stand alone, where thoughts converge, On the precipice of an existential surge, ‘I think, therefore I am’ resounds like a dirge, In this silent cosmos, I sing my purge.
