Rewriting Memory Maybe the voice of reason I heard in those days Was my own in the future traveling back in time And maybe the memory now in the present Are the restless trolls I once tried to keep in line But something sounds so much clearer and different As if the years fine-tuned the profound resonance Everything now has more definition and meaning In understanding the facts and hard evidence The truth is…without a sense of purpose or drive A moral compass can only point but not steer And when the ship is being pulled in all directions It’s easy to get lost even when skies are clear The echo answers differently this time around Call it conscience, spirit, or whatever you like But if the ghosts come back to whisper and hang out Just ask them to speak clearly into the mic… The little $hits will shy away and hide in the night

The Echo Answers Differently
Rewriting Memory Maybe the voice of reason I heard in those days Was my own in the future traveling back in time And maybe the memory now in the present Are the restless trolls I once tried to keep in line But something sounds so much clearer and different As if the years fine-tuned the profound resonance Everything now has more definition and meaning In understanding the facts and hard evidence The truth is…without a sense of purpose or drive A moral compass can only point but not steer And when the ship is being pulled in all directions It’s easy to get lost even when skies are clear The echo answers differently this time around Call it conscience, spirit, or whatever you like But if the ghosts come back to whisper and hang out Just ask them to speak clearly into the mic… The little $hits will shy away and hide in the night
