Echoes Lyrics

On the streets you look again At the places you have been Or the moments that you thought Where am I going Though the walls are like the dead They reflect the things you've said And the echoes in your head continue showing Near the castles you can build Out of dreams you half fullfilled Won't keep out all of the ill wind that is blowing And you look still for a trace Of an opening in a place Where you find the life that you were used to knowing You can walk out in the night And be sure that its alright To exagerate the world that's only being You can watch Regina dance Through the crystal panes of glass Yet you know that there's so much that she's not seeing Still you hold one precious thought After all this time you've sought That she might be just protecting what she longs for And her eyes are veiled with black Cause she plays she can look back At the love she wanted so but says is no more The lights go on, commense the cold As your senses will be sold To the parrot watchers mimicing no reasons To pretend that what they are From the fact completely far While the truth may be betrayal, lies and treason Build their towers in the sand Down the roads at their command When the kingdom is the innocence they're stealing And infection easily spreads To the searching, twisted heads As they team up to tear down each others feeling
