Children Of The Echo

(album: Beyond The Pale - 2020)

You say I don't communicate
No comment
I'd say it's more of a long delay
We are all children of the echo
And time out of joint

Now you wanna know just what makes me tick tick
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick...
I don't tick I'm digital
Everything is black or white to me
I'm either on or off or on or off or on or off or on or off

I'm aiming high, I'm stooping low
We are the children of the echo

I was born in the middle of the second verse
(I was born in the middle of the second verse)
All my life I've tried to sing along
(All my life I've tried to sing along)
I'm not quite sure of all the words
(I'm not quite sure of all the words)
I haven't got a clue just who wrote this song
(Haven't got a clue who wrote this song)

And it's hard to hear your own voice in the midst of all these others
And everything's the wrong way round when you're looking in a mirror
And I'd really love to dance but I can't find the one
I can't find the one
I can't find the one
I can't find the one
I can't find the...
Are you the one?
Are you the one?
The one, the two, one, two, three, oh!

I'm aiming high, I'm stooping low
We are the children of the echo

Hello
Hello?
Hello!
Hello!

Sooner or later everything will remind you of something else
So repeat after me
Repeat after me
I am breathing
(I am breathing)
I am dancing
(I am dancing)
I am the product of all my ancestors both living and dead
(I am the product of all my ancestors both living and dead)
I have created an all-seeing, all-knowing, almighty entity
Who does not care about me one bit
One bit
No, not one bit
No, not one bit
No, not one bit
No, not one bit
Oh, not one bit
Oh, not one bit
Oh, not one bit
Oh, not one bit
Oh, not one bit
Oh, not one bit
Oh, not one bit
Oh, not one bit
One bit one bit one bit one bit one bit yeah yeah yeah yeah

I'm aiming high, I'm stooping low
We are the children of the echo
One for the money, zero for the show
So sing the children of the echo

I always thought there was so much more to learn
But the echo fades with diminishing returns
Yeah, the echo fades with diminishing returns
Yes, the echo fades with diminishing returns
Yes, the echo fades with diminishing returns
