Echoes

Hide your eyes and turn away

You can't come out today

There's no way

Staring through the window pane

At the poring rain

She don't complain

Walk on, face numb, a half gone

Never one for having fun

Always taught to hold your tongue

So you thought you could please him, did you?

So you thought it'd be easy, did you?

Deny that made you want it more

In spite of what you're asking for

Tonight the waves approach the shore

Just to escape from this twisted space

And they're knocking at your door

Tell yourself it's all okay

Bring in another day

You cry out in vain

Tangled up and beaten down

A voice that echoes through the ground again

A show's on, a day's long, a shame gone

Working 'til the morning sun

But no one's waiting when you're done

So you thought you could please him, did you?

So you thought it'd be easy, did you?

Deny the things you wanted more

In spite of what you're asking for

Tonight the waves approach the shore

Just to escape from this twisted space

And they're knocking at your door

They're gonna try to tell you who you are

They're gonna try to show you who you are

They're gonna try to tell you who you are

They're gonna try to show you who you are
