Echoes from the Surface

Lyrics: Théo Vanrenterghem/Nilka Bowman Music: Théo Vanrenterghem "Here I go again Thought I could see the light For a second but I’m In my head again Drowning in darkness I wish I could stop it Every now and then I’m able to rise back up To the surface but I I can’t pretend The caves I reside in Aren’t ruled by Poseidon

Been locked up for too many days And I don’t know how to escape This feeling that keeps me in chains Lying awake, it’s hard to explain

They tell me it’s only a phase Soon it will pass with the waves But what I’m attempting to say Is I’m not okay

I’m in the deep Keep trying not to sink Need one more chance to breathe Please, can anybody hear me Crying out for help But maybe I’m just talking to myself And praying I might wake up Someplace else

Talking to myself Talking to myself Praying I might wake up Someplace else Maybe I’m just talking to myself Praying I might wake up Someplace else

Wish I could prevent The doubt under pressure And fear over losing grip It’s easier said And I can admit I’m no good At controlling it I have no strength left I’m tired of the fight And tired of being tired Is this the end I’m so tired of being tired

Been locked up for too many days And I don’t know how to escape This feeling that keeps me in chains Lying awake, it’s hard to explain They tell me it’s only a phase Soon it will pass with the waves But what I’m attempting to say Is I’m not okay

I’m in the deep Keep trying not to sink Need one more chance to breathe Please, can anybody hear me Crying out for help Or maybe I’m just talking to myself And praying I might wake up Someplace else

Maybe I’m just talking to myself Can anybody hear me I’m crying out for help Talking to myself Praying I might wake up Someplace else"
