I’m standing in your silence, but it’s loud inside my head.

My memories consume me; they follow where I tread.

Every step I take, there’s a ghost I cannot see

from wars I left so long ago that still aren’t done with me.

 

I’m trying to escape from the demons I can’t see,

but my mind is like a prison that’ll never let me free.

I try to close the boxes, but they open every time.

These echoes in my mind are like a never-ending chime.

 

(Chorus)

My illness is invisible; it’s a wound you cannot see;

my battle is this darkness; it’s suffocating me.

I’m desperate for redemption, but I know it can’t be mine,

evaded by the justice of these echoes in my mind.

 

My heart is always burning, yet it’s cold within my soul,

I wear my poker face, but I’m losing all control.

Every time I close my eyes, the darkness comes for me;

it’s like a cold wet blanket that I can’t seem to see.

 

I’m trying to heal the wounds that my demons leave behind,

but it’s a never-ending hurricane storming through my mind.

We fought for Queen and country in far too many lands,

these echoes in my mind are more than I can stand.

 

(Chorus)

My illness is invisible; it’s a wound you cannot see;

my battle is this darkness; it’s suffocating me.

I’m desperate for redemption, but I know it can’t be mine,

evaded by the justice of these echoes in my mind.

 

(Bridge)


I’m walking through the ashes of a life I used to know.

The fire keeps on burning, but I’m numb from head to toe.

I’m searching for salvation in a world that feels so cold,

but the echoes keep on calling, and I’m losing all control.

 

(Chorus)

My illness is invisible; it’s a wound you cannot see;

my battle is this darkness; it’s suffocating me.

I’m desperate for redemption, but I know it can’t be mine,

evaded by the justice of these echoes in my mind.

 

(Outro)


These echoes in my mind are whispers in the dark;

they remind me of the pain; they remind me of the scars.

I’m trying to reach the surface, to gasp just one more breath,

but I fear I’ve lost my battle, so I’m reaching out for death.
