Echos

Shy away, way down low Low ends up too high But high's where to go On death row in my mind Shave my head, head to work To work out my salvation Just for the books Book it home for vacation Rope around my neck Next up, your up next Temporary pressures vary Still I tarry, on Echos Clue me in that I'm lifeless Capture me as unrighteous Here goes something But what bounces back at me is nothing Echos Box me up in their time frame Can't compete with their vile games Something's running Footfalls of my past are all shunning Your shunned You're shunned You chased it, you're wasted Now just empty spaces You're shunned You're shunned You chased it, you're wasted The deadline is hastened See my eyes, I hate it Inferior gains These deafening cheers only worsen the pain I'm aware where I'm at It's not the right location Soaked in the mud catch a glimpse of redemption Reaching for the glint, there's hope, hope again Down the slope, I see a moat But there's no boat, am I alone with Echos Clue me in that I'm lifeless Capture me as unrighteous Here goes something But what bounces back at me is nothing Echos Box me up in their time frame Can't compete with their vile games Something's running Footfalls of my past are all shunning Your shunned You're shunned You chased it, you waste it Now just empty spaces You're shunned You're shunned You chased it, you're wasted The deadline is hastened One, two, three four Five, six, seven, eight Count up your good deeds Too little, too late One, two, three Two, three, four five It's vital that you rip off your disguise You'll truly live when you fully die He is the gift and the giver of life Grace like fresh dew quenches my soul Show's me there's so much more 'Neath the sound of the Echos That clue me in that I'm lifeless Capture me as unrighteous Here goes nothing I am confident he's working something Echos Free me from these old restraints I have faith and a new name Won't stop running Each step brings me close to his Coming He'll come, he'll come The trumpet will blow Every eye will behold Him He'll come, He'll come You only get older And deadlines they hasten
