Echoes

All around me the pace doesn't change All of these people in circles in search of a name And I guess that I must be the same Cause it feels like I'm searching Searching for something I live in the space between nights The echoes of who's seen who in my mind Underneath this elephant sky It feels like I'm searching Searching for something Weigh me down I dream of steady Weigh me down I must be ready Start a sentence, they'll fill in the rest Though their mouths don't move See their eyes are impressed All this air that's escaping my chest It feels like I'm working I'm working for something We dig 'til we hit something hard Scratching the dirt 'til our fingers Can hold who we are Then we pull it 'til we're facing the stars And it feels like it's working Working for something
