lyrics

Figured by this age
I'd have things figured out
A recent review of my actions
Magnified my doubts

These days I feel windblown
A silhouette, carved from stone
A man most would consider
Fully grown ... fully grown

I'm more like an echo though
A cheap toy, Hecho en Mexico
A child's kaleidoscope
Empty inside and gutted of hope

Now we're bouncing off each other like competing out-of-offices replies
Mirrors facing one another. Enemies under the guise of allies

Let's bury the coffins, rewind the clocks
Course correct, change my stripes and all the locks
Straitjackets and parlor pursuits
Treasure chests and pirate’s loot

All my virgin beliefs got whittled down
It's funny how hard truths get softened
Piss and vinegar of my untamed youth
I shot him dead and I don't think about him all that often

I'm more like an echo though
A cheap toy, Hecho en Mexico
A child's kaleidoscope
Empty inside and gutted of hope

I’m more like an echo though
Hecho en Mexico … …
