Chasing Echoes

Is the dream still alive? Still the image
Of perfection?
Sweet little delight, a happy disaster
An easy lie?
Well, sometimes hurt befriends rejection
It’s kinda rich, I know
When you’re the one denied
Oh, oh

Is this a role or disguise
Seeking mercy in creation?
Just another device
Or truly a time when we will rise?
Oh, one and all, to the occasion
And bridge the gap to see the other sidе?

Where day and night becomе vertigo
You still light up my soul like a burning halo
Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show
Looking for something more, chasing echoes
Oh, oh

Are you really surprised to hear
The daydream shop went bankrupt?
Truly beside yourself
'Cause the carnival closed down?
When the show suddenly
Stops, no matter how much you’ve got
It’s still cold out here alone

Where day and night become vertigo
You still light up my soul like a burning halo
Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show
Looking for something more, chasing echoes
Oh, oh

Here we go shamelessly courting the vices, the
Virtues, the trifles until we bring down the world

Pleasure highs within meanings lost
Looking for a quick fix
Fulfilment fast lane
Pleasure lies about the cost
Of keeping the dream alive
Alive

Where day and night become vertigo
You still light up my soul like a burning halo
Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show
Looking for something more, chasing echoes
Oh, looking for something more, chasing echoes
Oh, oh
Let go
