Echo Chamber

[Intro] That's what I thought. ... At least I wasn't the only one. [Verse 1] Play the video. Skip ahead. Scroll down first To see what they said. Thumb on the glass. Eyes on the side. Funny how I check the room Before I check inside. A hundred little echoes Waiting in a line. Every one reflecting Something back to mine. And when they say it too The weight gets easier to hold. Like hearing your own story From somebody you don't know. [Pre-Chorus] See? See? That's what I thought. [Chorus] That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Like I needed it from you. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Like I couldn't trust the truth. For a moment The pressure leaves my chest. Then the screen goes dark And I'm right back where I left. [Verse 2] I built a little shelter Out of borrowed lines. Stacked them up neatly Till they looked like mine. Every shared frustration. Every matching scar. Every stranger saying What I already thought. I called it understanding. Called it being seen. Funny how the safest rooms Can slowly make you weak. And every confirmation Felt warm against the cold. But none of them could carry What I wouldn't let myself hold. [Pre-Chorus] See? See? That's what I thought. [Chorus] That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Like I needed it from you. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Like I couldn't trust the truth. For a moment The pressure leaves my chest. Then the screen goes dark And I'm right back where I left. [Bridge] Mirror facing mirror. Light without an end. Hallways made of copies Bending back again. Face after familiar face. Voice after familiar voice. Every answer sounding right Because it matched my choice. The room got quieter. Not because I found the truth. The room got quieter When I stopped making room. For anything That challenged me. Anything I couldn't prove. [Final Chorus] That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Like I needed it from you. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Like I couldn't trust the truth. For a moment The pressure leaves my chest. Then the screen goes dark And I'm right back where I left. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Funny what we do. When we're looking for ourselves In everybody else but you. [Outro] That's what I thought. ... At least I wasn't the only one. ... The strange thing is It still didn't make it feel real.
