Echoes

When time stops
And the world sighs
You hit reset
And your heart cries
You have regrets
Mistakes you've made
Remember
The echoes fade.

It seems to grow
Overwhelm your mind
It hounds your feet
Until you hide
The sounds of hate
The tears you've cried
Remember
The echoes fade.

Then joy creeps in
Like a thief at night
It's here with you
And you lose sight
Of hurt, and pain,
The price you paid
Finally
The echoes fade.
