Echoes

On the streets you look again at the places you have been
 Or the moments that you thought, "Where am I going?"
 Though the walls are like the dead, they reflect the things you said
 And the echoes in your head continue showing
 Near the castles you can build out of dreams you half fulfilled
 Won't keep out all of the ill wind that is blowing
 And you look, still, for a trace of an opening in a place
 Where you find the life that you were used to knowin'
 You can walk out in the night and be sure that it's all right
 To exaggerate the world that's only being
 You can watch Regina dance through the crystal panes of glass
 Yet you know that there's so much that she's not seeing
 Still, you hold one precious thought after all this time you've sought
 That she might be just protecting what she longs for
 And her eyes are veiled with black
 'Cause she plays, she can't look back
 At the love she wanted so but says is no more
 The lights go on, commence the cold as your senses will be sold
 To the parrot watchers mimicking no reasons
 To pretend that what they are from the fact completely far
 While the truth may be betrayal, lies and treason
 Build their towers in the sand down the roads of their command
 While the kingdom is the innocence they're stealing
 And infection easily spreads to the searching, twisted heads
 As they team up to tear down each others feeling
