Of Mice & Men - Echo [Full Album 2021]

Lyrics to Echo [Full Album 2021] by Of Mice & Men

Tracklist: 01. Timeless [Verse 1] Is this what it's like to shed your skin To be reborn? Adrift in a sea of noise Unable to remember what came before The fragments replay but they're out of place My voice, distant, like a stand-in just out of frame The fragments replay but they're out of place [Chorus] I would paint you a picture of the sky on fire But the colors escape my mind Finding vibrance in monochrome And life through wires Projections in black and white [Verse 2] Is this what it's like to feel serеne And unaware? Like silhouеttes on celluloid We're timeless but oh so impermanent (Oh, so impermanent) Becoming blurs in the negatives (Oh, so impermanent) But I swear to God that we're timeless [Chorus] I would paint you a picture of the sky on fire But the colors escape my mind Finding vibrance in monochrome And life through wires Projections in black and white I would paint you a picture of the sky on fire But the colors escape my mind Finding vibrance in monochrome And life through wires Projections in black and white [Outro] Projections in black and white I swear to God that we're timeless 02. Obsolete [Intro] Obsolete [Verse 1] For a thousand days I watched the vultures circle overhead And I counted the ways the world would be blessed when I finally reached my end And I felt the weight of the world pushing me into the soil below And I felt the desert sun above, while I tried to drink water from a stone [Pre-Chorus] But I'm not ready to die alone [Chorus] So can you wake me from my sleep And show me now that this is just a dream? 'Cause I'm a whisper, once a scream And I'm afraid of what's in store for me Becoming obsolete [Post-Chorus] Become obsolete Become obsolete [Verse 2] Another frozen frame, another glitch inside my consciousness So I pick my poison and just choke it down until I start to spin And while the world just slowly turns, I fade like fog into the sea While the mighty galleon burns around me, I slowly start to sink [Breakdown] Maybe I'm not ready to be set free Maybe these shackles are what I need If you find the answers, come rescue me But I can't hold my breath [Chorus] So can you wake me from my sleep And show me now that this is just a dream? 'Cause I'm a whisper, once a scream And I'm afraid of what's in store for me Becoming obsolete [Bridge] (Becoming obsolete) (Maybe I'm not ready to be set free) (Maybe these shackles are what I need) (If you find the answers, come rescue me) (If you find the answers, come rescue me) [Chorus] So can you wake me from my sleep And show me now that this is just a dream? 'Cause I'm a whisper, once a scream And I'm afraid of what's in store for me Becoming obsolete [Post-Chorus] Become obsolete Become obsolete Become obsolete Become obsolete 03. Anchor [Verse 1] Tepid waves Of trepidation covering me As if to provide A moment of clarity [Pre-Chorus 1] What lies ahead Is it another unfolding travesty again? I'm searching for substance But I don't even fit into my own skin [Chorus] You spoke of a world full of purpose As I choked down every single lie 'Til I sank all the way to the bottom With a heavy heart like an anchor deep inside [Post-Chorus] And it's dragging me down Down, down, down [Verse 2] You state your case But the words fall like broken mirrors And shifting the blame Won't provide another place to hide [Pre-Chorus 2] What lies ahead Is it another misguided, sad, and failed attempt? I'm searching for anything But I haven't even seen the sun in days [Chorus] You spoke of a world full of purpose As I choked down every single lie 'Til I sank all the way to the bottom With a heavy heart like an anchor deep inside You spoke of a world full of purpose As I choked down every single lie 'Til I sank all the way to the bottom With a heavy heart like an anchor deep inside [Post-Chorus] And it's dragging me down Down, down, down 04. Levee Feel the rain Feel the rain It's cold, cloudy, windy, and wet I see the sun, inside my head It's warm there, and I need the warmth More than I ever have Do my eyes deceive me? Totally alone and yet surrounded "What is the plan, and what can I do?" To stop the rain from coming? It touches everything I love The rain touches everything I love Until it's all washed away And when that mean old levee Finally cracks and breaks You better learn to walk on water Or fly with broken wings It's cold, cloudy, windy, and wet The storm just rages inside my head It knows no end It just keeps on raining Senses trigger the brutal stings Of every possibility and memory And it just keeps on raining Down, down, down It touches everything we love The rain touches everything we love Until it's all washed away And when that mean old levee Finally cracks and breaks You better learn to walk on water Or fly with broken wings It can only rain for so long It can only rain for so long It can only rain for so long Before it washes us away It can only rain for so long It can only rain for so long It can only rain for so long Before it washes us away It can only rain for so long It can only rain for so long It can only rain for so long Before it washes us away It can only rain for so long The levee's gonna break before long And I can only swim for so long So maybe it's our time to drown 05. Bloom (Explicit) [Intro] We were born to bloom Destined to deteriorate No beauty in plastic flowers No honey made from fake bouquets We were born to bloom But we were never meant to stay No wine from fruit made out of wax No honey made from fake bouquets [Verse 1] What do they say about apples and trees? How do you grow when you're severed from the roots underneath? And if the tether of lovе can never truly break Did it slip from my hands thе day you went away? Why do they speak about a love that never dies? And what the fuck do they know about the afterlife? Have they ever spent the night screaming at the sky Asking why? [Chorus] We were born to bloom Destined to deteriorate No beauty in plastic flowers No honey made from fake bouquets 'Cause we were born to bloom But we were never meant to stay No wine from fruit made out of wax No honey made from fake bouquets [Verse 2] What do they say about the heart and its strength? What do you do when your love rots into rage? How do you water the garden that famine takes? How do you feed your soul with dust and clay? We blossom then wither like the rose Death written into our blood like poems A soliloquy of ancient, ancestral pain The price of love paid over and over again [Chorus] We were born to bloom Destined to deteriorate No beauty in plastic flowers No honey made from fake bouquets 'Cause we were born to bloom But we were never meant to stay No wine from fruit made out of wax No honey made from fake bouquets [Outro] Love is watching the petals fall Love is watching the petals fall Love is watching the petals fall Love is watching the petals fall 06. Pulling Teeth Time stops for no man The end awaits us all The seconds sing our eulogies We're trapped inside of The belly of the beast With nothing but our memories And they too fade And it's just like slowly pulling teeth Until your fingers bleed Ravenous and incomplete A hunger that you can't feed The faultlines of life Begin to separate And grace us with catastrophe We stare over the edge Into the vast and open space While the ground on which we stand Disappears And it's just like slowly pulling teeth Until your fingers bleed Ravenous and incomplete A hunger that you can't feed And it's just like slowly pulling teeth Until your fingers bleed Ravenous and incomplete A hunger that you can't feed I thought I was prepared That I was up to the task I said, "I'll be okay." And then my world collapsed Piece, by piece, by piece Like slowly pulling teeth Slowly pulling teeth 07. Mosaic [Verse 1] There is gold in the temple There's a fire that burns below There are angels and devils Hell and heaven live inside of us all [Chorus] Can we carry the weight of our humanity And find a remedy for our misguided misanthropy? The color of chaos, the beauty in flames Like a mosaic of judgement day Of judgement day [Verse 2] There's a snake in the garden There's a plague in the heart of man Not a thing left to barter Time slips through our hands We return to the earth [Chorus] Can we carry the weight of our humanity And find a remedy for our misguided misanthropy? The color of chaos, the beauty in flames Like a mosaic of judgement day Can we carry the weight of our humanity And find a remedy for our misguided misanthropy? The color of chaos, the beauty in flames Like a mosaic of judgement day [Outro] Our shattered hearts Rearranged Like a mosaic Of judgement day 08. Fighting Gravity [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I can feel the distance Between the here and now And the hereafter Like life in instant Legacies like grains of sand In an infinite ocean Tossing and turning, endlessly In perpetual motion Until it's our time to surface From underneath (From underneath) [Pre-Chorus] Why am I always fighting gravity? [Chorus] If everything is where it's supposed to be Then why space just feel so incomplete? If everything is made to fall into place Why am I always fighting gravity? Why am I always fighting gravity? Why am I always fighting gravity? Ayy Why am I always fighting gravity? Ayy [Verse 2] I can feel the balance Between then and now And what's to happen Such a fragile system Like life in an instant [Chorus] If everything is where it's supposed to be Then why does space just feel so incomplete? If everything is made to fall into place Why am I always fighting gravity? Why am I always fighting gravity? Ayy Ayy [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] If everything is where it's supposed to be Then why does space just feel so incomplete? If everything is made to fall into place Why am I always fighting gravity? If everything is where it's supposed to be Then why does space just feel so incomplete? If everything is made to fall into place Why am I always fighting gravity? Why am I always fighting gravity? Ayy 09. Echo [Intro] Synchronicity invading my surroundings I can see history repeating Time breaks down [Verse 1] I swear I've seen this all before Lived every ending in my head A steady pace on a familiar path But In a place I know I've never been [Interlude] If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable [Chorus] Just like a shout in the dark We echo Into the ether Until we fade like a spark We echo Into forever [Verse 2] Connected beyond consciousness Throughout time and space Maybe we've lived this all before Maybe past and present are all the same [Interlude] What might have been and what has been Point to one end, which is always present Footfalls echo in the memory My words echo thus in your mind [Chorus] Just like a shout in the dark We echo Into the ether Until we fade like a spark We echo Into forever [Outro] One ancient melody repeating Ad Infinitum We were once the same note But now we echo Into forever 10. Helplessly Hoping [Crosby Stills & Nash cover] [Verse 1] Helplessly hoping Her harlequin hovers nearby Awaiting a word Gasping at glimpses Of gentle true spirit He runs, wishing he could fly Only to trip at the sound of good-bye [Verse 2] Wordlessly watching He waits by the window And wonders At the empty place inside Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams He worries Did he hear a good-bye? Or even hello? [Chorus] They are one person They are two alonе They are three togethеr They are for each other [Verse 3] Stand by the stairway You'll see something Certain to tell you confusion has its cost Love isn't lying It's loose in a lady who lingers Saying she is lost And choking on hello [Chorus] They are one person They are two alone They are three together They are for each other
