HEY ECHO!

Chorus:
The artist enters left
All you see is his silhouette at the concerto
With the spotlight in his face
He approaches the centerstage and walks in tempo
Inhaled to fill the long
Moment hung up on what’s to come
Like a crescendo
When he opens his mouth
Yet there’s no one there to hear the shout
There’s just an echo

Verse 1:
HEY ECHO!
We’re the only ones here
It’s been lonely since everybody had disappeared
Clearly got the best of themselves
Oh wells got what they feared Through the years
‘Til all was left was us here
HEY ECHO!
The lights have gotten dimmer
Something Signaled your surrender
Yet’s too difficult to remember
The ember of the fire once wild - now faded
Memories - the possibilities all got played
HEY ECHO!
Where did you go? Need we wait here further
Was it suicide, euthanize, was it murder?
Did you stop? Did you wait til it was too late?
Forgotten that karma means everything you say will

V2:
Doomed to re-peat what we forget
Then you should stand for something
‘Til disillusion is forfeited, this is been for nothing
Indifferent, another incident that you manifest
We see the repercussion yet somehow we never learn our lesson
Second guess an investment
Guilty but who’s to blame?
Catastrophe in the event we actually would do the same
Cynic, skeptic, hectic, frantic
Man on the move,
My mood dissonant
Here but unseen,
No one listening now

Refrain:
HEY ECHO!
Where did you go? Should we continue further?
Was it suicide, euthanize, or was it murder?
Did you Refuse to recognize til it was too late?
Perhaps you didn’t understand the aftermath
What do you say echoes

V3:
I’d been a stranger to abundance
My reaction became distracted by the routine up & comings
Rebel yell, Hell resounded but drowned
I never learned my lesson
Distracted expression, Impression none
That’s my reflection
Anger directed in my process and limitation
Inadequate or just out of sync with imagination
Complications all I am facing as if I made them do it
If we make it through it
Pray you stay and we’ll say we knew it

Bridge:
Franchise, baptize, chastise, self-penance
I’m out of my environment
I might’ve been Leviathan
I swallowed every word I ever said to stand before you
And say “fuck your skepticism, I ignore you!”
ECHO!
