Verse 1:
Up against the wall
Up against the falling out of pens and paper
Broken strings and thought processes gone.
Turn on the television
Ignore the broken window and
Read the paper and all that it's bringing.

Chorus:
It's just like distant echoes
Fade away
I'll stay here and hope for an answer.

Verse 2:
I'm not hoping for a hit parade
But a meeting with mediocrity and hypocrisy kept me singing.

Chorus:
It's just like distant echoes
Fade away
I'll stay here and hope for an answer.

It's just like distant echoes
Fade away
I'll stay here and hope for an answer.
