Echoes

You were alone when you came in 
 You'll be alone when you leave again 
 And in the middle there's nothing that can keep you around 
 When it's time to go home 

 Because everybody I lean on 
 Since I don't trust myself 
 Leans on someone else 
 Watch the colonies collapse like dominos 

 I could beg and I could plead 
 But all I hear is the echo of my own voice begging me 
 The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic wasteland 
 The fossils of the teen age are well preserved 

 I crawled on hands and knees just to be there with you and you moved on without me 
 Scrap the crown 
 Clean the slate 
 Cut off your roots 
 You're own your own 

 Scrap the crown 
 Clean the slate 
 Cut off your roots 
 You're own your own 
 We all need something 

 I'm a gypsy queen without a swarm and 
 The burning bridges keep me warm 
 I'm a new wave in a dried up stream 
 I'm just trying to find my way out to the sea 

 You were alone when you came in 
 You'll be alone when you leave again 
 And in the middle there's nothing that can keep you around 
 When it's time to go home 

 Because everybody I lean on 
 Since I don't trust myself 
 Leans on someone else 
 Watch the colonies collapse like dominos 

 I could beg and I could plead but 
 All I hear is the echo of my own voice begging me 
 The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic wasteland 
 The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic waste 

 Crush your allies 
 Crush your allies 
 Crush your allies 
 Crush your allies
