Echo Chamber

When all you hear is noise,
The loudest voice is right
Always right

When all you see are walls,
There’s nowhere left to go,
So you are

Drowning out the voice of reason
Amplifying your own
Normalize your own perception
You’ll never be alone

Reflections of yourself
Extended out for miles and miles

With mirrors all around
The outside seems so far
So you are

Drowning out the voice of reason
Amplifying your own
Normalize your own perception
You’ll never be alone

Surrounding yourself with reflections
You bask in your conceit
Patching up every single hole ‘til your
Echo chamber’s complete

[We’re all the heroes of our own stories
There’s no need to see the other side
If you can rationalize it
I didn’t realize it at the time,
but I was building a circle around myself
A construct of my own creation
A construct of sameness,
Of opinions that reflected my own
Reflections and shadows of myself]

These reflective walls do not confine me
Your shadows do not define me
These shards of glass no longer binding
My construct is crumbling to the ground
And the outside is blinding
