Echoes of Me^by Liam Laghan

I slide past walls in a house I don't know
No mirrors to answer, no voice of my own
My name feels foreign when I whisper aloud 
Like I'm lost in a maze and the world's too loud

But there's a glow on a distant tide
A flame that steadies the storm inside
You, like a spark beneath my skin
Pulling me close through the cold within

You're the heat I feel when I fall too deep
The only light through the dark I keep
When I'm a shadow, you still see
The last piece left that's truly me, that's truly me

I dream in a cage with a shattered frame
Each breath I take still feels the same
I loved you quiet, like a sacred vow
Now I reach for you like I reach for how

Still there's a glow that never fades
The kind that heals, the kind that stays
You, like a rhythm beneath my skin
Pulling me out, pulling me in

You're the heat I feel when I fall too deep
The only light through the dark I keep
When I'm a shadow, you still see
The last piece left that's truly me, that's truly me

I'm not what I was, I'm not what I feared
But your voice breaks through when no one's near
If I ever rise from the sleep underground
It'll be from the seed you sowed without a sound
A quiet pull beneath my aching cries
That turns my drift into a rise

You're the heat I feel when I fall too deep
The only light through the dark I keep
When I'm a shadow, you still see
The last piece left that's truly me

You're the voice that finds me when I can't speak
The calm that rises when my heart leaks
You still remain in the echoes of me
In the piece you hold so quietly, that's truly me.
