Lyrics

I've been hearing footsteps in my head again

See lately I've been trying to outrun a shadow, but it doesn't end

The thing about the dark, it don't chase

Walking through the static with the echoes in the halls

And the shadows moving different, they don't follow when I pause

I don't sleep, I just listen to the creaks in the walls

I hear them whispering my name when the silence is strong

I don't run, I don't flinch, I just stare at the abyss

Dead weight that's on my shoulders got me carrying mist

With the demons in the mirror looking carved from the past

And there ain't no footprints on the path, just the steps that I lack

But my mind is like a prison, every thought got a chain

Every scar on my wrist, like a note from the pain

Told me turn to God, but the line went dead

And now I talk to the wind and all that echoes is regret

Look into my eyes, tell me what you see

A part of me I buried, he's looking back at me

He don't got a name, he don't got a soul

And every time I fall, he the one to take control

Look into my eyes, tell me what you find

There was something in the darkness that been clawing my mind

See he doesn't let me free, and he won't let me go

And every time I bleed, he the one that feels at home

So look into my eyes, hear the echoes at night

Every shadow in my head, and they wanna watch me fight

Ain't no end to the war, ain't no exit in sight

And every time I close my eyes, he just steps in the light (Thank you)

I've been fighting off the voices, but they built like steel

And every time I kill a thought, it just grows back real

Every time I chase peace, I feel the hunger Still lurking

In like a wound that won't heal, like a sermon in cursive

Try to color in my scars, but the ink don't stay

Every stroke turn to static, and every word turns gray

They say time heals all, but my clock doesn't tick

I just count all the days that I stayed unhinged

Oh you think that I'm lost, I think that I'm found

In a place where the echoes, they just never die down

In a place where the ghosts, they still call my name

Where the past doesn't fade, and my sins don't change

Look into my eyes, tell me what you see

A part of me I buried, he's looking back at me (How you doin)

He don't got a name, he don't got a soul

And every time I fall, he the one that take control

Look into my eyes, tell me what you find

There was something in the darkness that been clawing my mind

See he doesn't let me free, and he won't let me go

And every time I bleed, he the one that feels at home

So look into my eyes, see the echoes at night

Every shadow in my head, and they wanna watch me fight

Ain't no end to the war, ain't no exit in sight

And every time I close my eyes, he just steps in the light

I don't wanna talk, I wanna let it snap

Mind sick, heart cold, let it beat till it cracks

And I don't need no love, and I don't need no grace

And all I need is a rage, and when I stare in my face

You thought you buried me

Huh

Thought I was gone

Nah man, I was just waiting for you

All I need is a blade, and all I need is a reason

And all I need is the past, that been keeping me breathing

See he ain't ever been free, and I ain't ever been safe

And I just learned how to smile, and why they rotting my place

See you can pray for me, but I ain't know I ain't coming back

I took a wrong turn once, now I live in the black

Tried to kill my past, but then it took my soul

And now I'm wearing his name, like a brand on my bones (like a brand on our bones)
