Lyrics

I trace the cracks in my reflection
From all the things I never said
I used to scream in quiet bedrooms
Now I just bleed inside my head

They say the past is just a shadow
But mine still lives beneath my skin
I try to fake a brand-new halo
But the devil always wins

I light a cigarette, watch it burn
Tell myself I've finally learned
But ashes fall like lullabies
And I still hear her cries

'Cause the echoes of yesterday
Still sleep in my bones, they don't go away
Like ghosts in the static, they know my name
I'm running in circles, still stuck in the flame
I swear I'm trying to change
But I'm still haunted the same
By the echoes of yesterday

I buried secrets in the garden
Where innocence was laid to rest
Tried therapy, tried holy water
But I'm still waking up a mess

They called me crazy, called me broken
I wore those words just like perfume
If trauma's art, I guess I'm golden
But I'd rather feel nothing than you

I paint my lips like warpaint now
Put on a smile, don't break down
But underneath, I'm paper thin
With silence screaming in my skin

'Cause the echoes of yesterday
Still sleep in my bones, they don't go away
Like ghosts in the static, they know my name
I'm dancing with fire just to feel okay
I swear I'm trying to change
But I'm still haunted the same
By the echoes of yesterday

"She's fine."
"She's strong."
"She'll move on."
But I'm choking on a past that never lets me breathe
I keep pretending I've made peace
But peace has never made its way to me

Echoes of yesterday
Still hold my heart in a razor cage
No matter how far I run, I break
On every word I didn't say

I sleep with the lights on
But the dark still stays
Echoes of yesterday
Echoes of yesterday…
