I keep trying, keep insisting not to hear
These thoughts come knocking louder each time
No mercy in them, they just keep returning
Pounding harder, refusing to die

I try not to listen, I resist the feeling
‘Cause when they come, they cloud everything
My mind goes dark, my thoughts unravel
And all I do is sink, lower and lower still

I’ve been deep in that hole before
And I won’t let myself go back
I know I need to stand and face it
But I won’t fall again, not like that

Deaf to the echo
That’s how I move on
Call it escape, I call it survival
I’ll stay like this, holding my ground
Deaf to the echo

When the echoes return to my mind
I sing even louder, I play my guitar
'Cause when calm won’t quiet the storm
Then burning flames will drown the dark

Whoever screams the loudest wins this war
Too many voices become just noise
Unheard, unclear, easier to ignore
I won’t go back down, not anymore

Deaf to the echo
That’s how I move on
Call it escape, I call it survival
I’ll stay like this, holding my ground
Deaf to the echo
