The Echo of My Steps

About being alone for so long, that when someone comes into your life that you can love, the strange, alien feeling of it confuses you and makes you doubt your new relationship

Now she's breached the castle walls

And my old world has fallen

Tears well up and shed from my eyes

Probably for the first time

I was previously a fortress

The citadel gates to my heart firmly closed

The keys broken off in the lock

The walls echoing with my lonely steps

A feeling of emptiness

That I have come to adore

All my friends pushed away

There was no love, or hate to show

No other soul to define myself by

Content with silence in the day

No fragile hearts leading me astray

That I can't fail to ignore

Now the castle collapses around me

And my old life distorted by you

My heart chained inseparable to yours

Whole, not empty anymore

And the world is different to me now

What laws am I required to follow

Should I fall in line 

Or break out and stand as a rebel

To join hands with the devil

Broken like the rest

Your eyes are guiding lights in the dark

And there's nowhere else to go

The castle I built, naught but dust

I miss the echo of my steps

That I used to adore

Now the castle collapses around me

And my old life distorted by you

My heart chained inseparable to yours

Whole, not empty anymore
