Lyric

Looking back through corridors I walked alone

Echo in my footsteps, echo in my bones

Yesterday was younger, sharper than today

But the map keeps changing on the way

Yesterday's an echo, fading in the hall

Can't retrieve the moment, even if I crawl

Forward is a promise, backward is a ghost

So I hold the present close

Memory's a filter, colors fade to grey

What I thought was certain slips away

Yet the seed of something grows inside my chest

Turning old regrets into a quest

Yesterday's an echo, fading in the hall

Can't retrieve the moment, even if I crawl

Forward is a promise, backward is a ghost

So I hold the present close

Not a wall, not a chain

Just a gentle, honest strain

I don't fight the past no more

I just open up the door

Yesterday's an echo, fading in the hall

Yet it taught me standing tall

Forward is a promise, backward is the key

So I breathe, and I'm free
