[Verse 1]
Caught me running to the river's edge
From a history that's not my friend
I reached the currents, but they turned their heads
Leaving me for dead
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that I had made it
Before you drained me hollow
Now everybody's waiting
To sing their song with my notes, oooh
[Chorus]
Echo, I call to you, I call to you
I know what's left unsaid
And echo, I feel for you
Repeating the voices of
Every man, every man, man, man, man
Every man, every man
[Verse 2]
Here's another letter never sent
Like an epitaph it's all that's left of me
I'm just envelope poetry
[Pre-Chorus]
And I bet they'll canonize me
Another tenth muse, who needed rescue, who found a refuge
But they don't know what they don't know
[Chorus]
Echo, I call to you, I call to you
I know what's left unsaid
And echo, I feel for you
Repeating the voices of
Every man, every man, man, man, man
Every man, every man
[Verse 3]
I woke up in a mask, onstage
Stolen syntax, but heart on display
A curse they call restoration
Auto-machia leaves no consolation, no
[Verse 4]
Aestheticized for his illustration
No consolation
Once was the painter, but now I'm what's painted
No consolation
Just another sun for his constellation
No consolation, no consolation, no consolation
[Outro]
Echo, I call to you, I call to you
I call to you, I call to you
I know what's left unsaid
Repeating the voices of every man
Every man, every man
