Echo in the Static

[Verse 1] I found a photograph of someone I don't recognize With my face and my name but a different look in their eyes They're laughing at a party that I don't remember being at Wearing clothes I never bought, a smile I never had And it's starting to feel like I'm watching a movie Where somebody else is playing me [Chorus] I'm just an echo in the static A ghost inside the automatic Running circles in the same routine Trying to find what I've already been I'm just a signal fading out Screaming but nobody hears a sound If I could just break through the noise Remember who I was before the void [Verse 2] My mother says I used to paint the sky before I learned to talk Now I fill my walls with colors that I bought at the store I had a dream last night that I could fly without a plane Woke up staring at the ceiling, feeling ordinary again And it's starting to feel like I'm reading a script That someone else wrote for me [Chorus] I'm just an echo in the static A ghost inside the automatic Running circles in the same routine Trying to find what I've already been I'm just a signal fading out Screaming but nobody hears a sound If I could just break through the noise Remember who I was before the void [Bridge] Maybe we're all just trying to remember Who we were before the world told us who to be Maybe the signal isn't gone forever Maybe it's just waiting underneath the static Waiting for me [Final Chorus] I WON'T be an echo in the static! Not just a ghost inside the automatic! Gonna break the circles, gonna break the routine! Gonna find the person I was always meant to be! I AM a signal breaking through! And I know exactly who I'm talking to! I've torn the static down, I killed the noise! I remember who I was— I remember who I am [Outro] I found a photograph of someone I recognize now It's me It's finally me
