Chasing Echoes

Yeah, I wake up every morning to the same old sound It's the ghost of my potential, trying to hunt me down Got a head full of noise, and a heart full of doubt Wondering what the hell this whole thing is about I'm chasing echoes in a digital well Got a story to break, but I'm afraid to tell My father worked the line until his hands were stone Now I'm fighting with a screen, feeling just as alone But I won't fade to static, I won't disappear! I'll find a new frequency and make myself clear! I'm done with chasing echoes of who I should be! I'll make a brand new sound, and finally be free! Every like and every share is a temporary fix Building up a kingdom out of hollow little bricks They told me "play it safe, kid, and you'll never get burned" But the lesson that I learned was you'll never get what you've earned My momma said "be happy with the bread that you break" But a steady diet of crumbs ain't enough for my sake So I'm breaking the cycle, I'm rewriting the code Gonna carry my own weight down this long, dark road But I won't fade to static, I won't disappear! I'll find a new frequency and make myself clear! I'm done with chasing echoes of who I should be! I'll make a brand new sound, and finally be free! No more echoes. Just me
