Not Your Echo Songtext
von FraytasticMusic

Thin line between panic and control
Every breath like a weight on my soul
Keep my head in the noise of the crowd
But the silence inside me is loud
I learned how to bend how to stay
How to smile while I drift away
Every promise I made to survive
Cut another piece out of my life

I see myself in the glass but it doesnt feel like me
Every motion I fake feels hollow destroyed
I keep reaching for something that slips
Through the cracks of my grip

All the fractures come into view
When the dark finally tells the truth
If I fall I fall through
If I break I break through


Im breaking the shape that you knoooow
Im tearing the skin that I wooooore
I feel it ignite in the core of my soul
Im not your shadow anymore
Im not your echo anymore
This is the cut where im boooorn

Every rule that you wrote in stone
Turned into chains when I grew my own
Every stand still every behave
Taught me how to live in a cage
I kept trading my breath for peace
While the pressure kept building beneath
Now the fault line runs through my chest
And im done trying to coexist

The more i fight the less i fit
The closer i get the more i drift
I dont know where the ground will bend
But i wont fold again

You shaped a future i couldnt hold
Drew my face in a shape i couldnt own
If i lose what you chose
Then i finally own what i am


Im breaking the shape that you knoooow
Im tearing the skin that you wooooore
I feel it ignite in the core of my soul
Im not your shadow anymore
Im not your echo anymore
This is the cut where im boooorn

In the static of broken doubt
Theres a pulse trying to break me out
No reflection left to save
Just the risk i choose to take
Just the risk i choose to take

If i tear this structure down
Will i finally hear my sound
If i erase what you defined
Will i find whats real inside
If i fall into the fire now
Will i burn or come alive
If the mask keeps falling off
Maybe thats the point of life

Im breaking the shape that you knoooow
Im burning the skin that i wooooore
I feel it explode in the core of my soul
Im not your shadow anymore
Im not your echo anymore
This is the cut where im boooorn

I was built to disappear
I was trained to live in fear
Now the silence knows my name
And it doesnt sound the same
It doesnt sound the same
