    As I fall
    I can see it all
    See the reflections
    On my inner wall
    And as the engines fail
    I can’t hear the sirens wail
    I can tell I’m alone here
    The clashes resound
    With empty echoes

    Empty echoes
    The reflections of reflections
    Nothing inside
    Nothing on the outside
    All I hear
    Is empty echoes


    I see stars
    I’m surrounded by fire
    Engulfing the seats
    And the gears and the wires
    I try my telephone
    But there’s no signal

    I lie dying
    I cry to the heavens for help
    But all that’s coming back
    Is empty echoes

    Empty echoes
    The voiceless mourn
    But I can’t hear their vigil
    Empty echoes
    The demons scorn
    It’s what I hear
    The empty echoes

    And all I hear is wrong
    The speeches and the songs
    And as the birds close in
    They see me dying

    And while I cannot see
    What it means to me
    It’s like I’m drowning in the sea
    Not breathing, I’m crying

    I feel it. Feel the ground
    Feel the mountain air
    It means nothing to me
    I could kill for an answer

    I’m telling myself
    It will be okay
    But it’s inside of me
    The empty echoes

    Empty Echoes
    My mind’s response to me
    Don’t know what to believe
    Empty echoes
    I fall to my knees
    My life is now the fee
    For the empty echoes

    As I die I sink into the sky
    As I die I sink into the sky
    And I realize man can’t truly fly
    And I’ll never ever wonder see
    Why the ground is separate from the sea
    Why the lock is separate from the key
    And why you aren’t here with me

    And the empty echoes
    They can’t take my soul
    Oh empty echoes
    Leave me; come back when you’re full
    Empty echoes
    The darkness now is clearly nigh
    As I end my fall
    And sink into the sky…
