Lost In The Echo

(Yeah) (yo)

1. You were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no
I followed, so taken
So conditioned i could never let go
Then sorrow, then sickness
Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious
So afraid i couldn't let myself see.

That i could never be held
Back up, no, i'll hold myself
Check the rep, yep you know my rail
Forget the rest let them know my hell
Damn, i'm back yep, my stories sell
Kept respect up the vets stay their
Let the rest be to tell they tale
That i was there saying...

[chorus:]
And these promises broken
Deep, feeble
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie i can see through
This time i finally let you
Go, go, go.

2. Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y'all go hard, i go smart
How's it working out for y'all in the back, huh
I've seen that frustration
Big cross, their lost but don't know
And i've come back unshaken.

Let down, i've lived and let go
So you can let it be known
I don't hold back, i hold my own
I can't be mad, i can't be calm
I can't sing flat, it aint my tone
I can't fall back, i came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
Cause i was there saying...

[bridge:]
No, you can tell ‘em all now
I don't back up, i don't back down
I don't fold up, and i don't bow
I don't roll over, don't know how
I don't care where the enemies are
Can't be stopped, all i know: go hard
Won't forget how i got this far
And every time, saying...
