The Echo Was Home lyrics

Cold streets Neon blur Noise outside Inside a stir Earbuds in but I still hear The thing I tried to disappear Crowded rooms I fade away Laugh on cue but never stay Built my armor piece by piece Called it strength It wasn't peace I ran so far from what I knew From every silent Honest truth But distance doesn't mute the tone It only makes it feel like home Tear out my silence Call my name If I get lost Don't look away If I fall into my own control Break the walls around my soul If I can't find my way alone Be the echo that leads me home I said to the wind in desert skies " If promise lives where doubt still lies I don't need thunder I don't need flame Just call me back by my real name. " No sky broke open, no grand display Just quiet steps that chose to stay Like a key that turns unseen Like breath returning in between Not a flash Not a roar Just presence standing at my door The void began to lose its claim And silence didn't feel the same Tear out my silence Let me hear If I run Run toward me here The farther I ran from the echo inside The more it followed The less I could hide It wasn't thunder It wasn't a sign It was a promise Waiting in time In the dark where fear had grown I learned The echo Was home In the dark where fear had grown I learned The echo Was home
