Waking in the silence, feeling so alone
Walking down a hallway, one I've never known
Footsteps echo softly, shadows on the wall
Life becomes a question, waiting for the fall
Streetlights flicker faintly, burning through the mist
Moments that we treasured, now seem to be missed
Faces fade to nothing, strangers in disguise
All that's left are whispers, truth behind the lies
Echoes of '84
('84, '84)
Dancing through the closed door
Memories we can't ignore
Good times we can't restore
(No more, no more)
Skies are torn and empty, fading into gray
Time keeps slipping slowly, pulling us away
Tomorrow holds no promise, only shattered dreams
Caught between the silence, nothing's what it seems
Echoes of '84
('84, '84)
Dancing through the closed door
Memories we can't ignore
Good times we can't restore
(No more, no more)
Everything counts, we lose or win
But in the end, we're trapped within
A rhythm lost, a silent beat
Time retreats beneath our feet
Caught in the space between our cries
We close our eyes, we close our eyes
Nights are cold and restless, secrets left unsaid
Hiding from the daylight, lying in our bed
Waiting for the moment, knowing it won't last
Holding on to fragments, shadows of the past
Echoes of '84
('84, '84)
Dancing through the closed door
Memories we can't ignore
Good times we can't restore
(No more, no more)
Fading echoes in the dark
Counting down from where we start
Time slips by and leaves no trace
Echoes lost in empty space
(Empty space, empty space...)
