The Echo and the Spark

The Echo and the Spark

Say my name…….GrizzlyJones

(Verse 1)

Yeah, Dats me….

You see the fire, you don’t see the match You see the door slam, you didn't hear the latchI know I came in loud, I know I hit the floor But I was reacting to the ghost behind the door There was a coldness in the way you turned your head A thousand heavy words in the things you never said And now I’m the one who broke the quiet of the room While the root of the trouble is hidden in the gloom.

(Chorus)

They only see the wave, they never see the tide They see the way I ran, not why I had to hide I’m sorry for the static, I’m sorry for the noise But my reaction was the only tool I had to find my voice I know I hurt the garden that we’re trying to grow But this is just a small step, a rhythm we should know We can rise above the dust of what we just went throughI’m still building this with you.

(Verse 2)

Your silence felt like a wall I had to climb So I raised my voice just to save a little time Now I look like the storm, and you look like the sky But there was a lightning strike before the first "goodbye"I took a swing at shadows you didn't know were there I let my insecurity breathe in the open airIt’s a tangled map of why I acted how I did The cause was out in public, the reason stayed hid.

(Bridge)

It’s a stumble, not a fall; it’s a crack, not a break We’re learning the language of every mistake I’ll own my response if you’ll look at the seed Of the hurt that we planted, the things that we need.

(Chorus)

They only see the wave, they never see the tide They see the way I ran, not why I had to hide I’m sorry for the static, I’m sorry for the noise But my reaction was the only tool I had to find my voiceI know I hurt the garden that we’re trying to grow But this is just a small step, a rhythm we should know We can rise above the dust of what we just went throughI’m still building this with you.

(Outro)

Just a small step...Yeah, we’re gonna be okay. Let the dust settle down.We’ll find a better way.Building it with you.One step at a time.
