Echoes

[Verse 1]
When did words get so dangerous?
Now they’re all sharp as knives
Used to have conversations
But now we’re just picking fights
Nobody wants to listen, no
We’re shooting from the hips
We only like the news that fits our selfish narrative
We’re losing all the middle ground

[Chorus]
Talking with our eyes closed
Like all we want to hear are echoes
Starting little wars on our phones
Like all we want to hear are echoes

[Verse 2]
On the internet
Pointing out everybody’s flaws
Always crying wolf
Cause we’re addicted to applause
Forget they’re only human
Didn’t grow up like you did
Outrage is artificial, now it’s going to our heads

[Chorus]
Talking with our eyes closed
Like all we want to hear are echoes
Starting little wars on our phones
Like all we want to hear are echoes

[Bridge]
Tell me, who’s got time for civility?
Don’t want to think twice about what we believe
Just want to start waving the flag of crucifixion
Wanna see them down on their knees
We’re losing all the middle ground
Only ever hear the sound
Of all these echoes
All these echoes

[Chorus]
Talking with our eyes closed
Like all we want to hear are echoes
Starting little wars on our phones
'Cause all we want to hear are echoes
