After the echo fades
And everything blows away
What is there left to say?
After the echo
​
After the chamber’s bare
And you're all alone in there
Does anyone even care?
After the echo
​
The voices in your head
You know they're not your own
You may have been misled
Set adrift in the unknown
You seldom have the poise
To cut through all the noise
To stand out in the crowd
​
After the echo fades
And everyone goes away
Will there be hell to pay?
After the echo
​
When all of the shouting ends
Tell me what happens then
Who’s gonna be your friend?
After the echo
​
Every talking head’s
Looking for a place to lie
The monsters under beds
Get between the sheets in time
And when you have the chance
To finally take a stance
Your tongues already tied
And the lies have all been lied
​
And when you have the chance
To finally take a stance
Your tongues already tied
And the lies have all been lied
We’ve heard it all before
So naturally we’re bored
We're searching for something more
​
After the echo fades
And everything blows away
What is there left to say?
After the echo
​
After the bubble busts
And everything turns to dust
Who are you gonna trust?
After the echo
​
The company you keep
The liars and the thieves
Who do you believe?
Tell me who do you believe?
​
This point of view
Seducing you
Works its wonder best
On the naive
​
After the echo fades
And everything blows away
What is there left to say?
After the echo
​
After the bubble busts
And everything turns to dust
Who are you gonna trust?
After the echo
