Original version=
The clock stopped ticking forever ago
How long have I been up? I don't know
I can't get a grip, but I can't let go
There wasn't anything to hold onto, though
Why can't I see,
Why can't I see
All the colors
That you see?
Please can I be,
Please can I be
Colorful and free?
What the hell's going on?
Can someone tell me please
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV
I'm black, then I'm white
No! Something isn't right!
My enemy's invisible
I don't know how to fight
The trembling fear
Is more than I can take
When I'm up against
The echo in the mirror
ECHO...
I'm gonna burn my house down
Into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now
And never look back
I'm gonna burn my house down
Into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now
And never look back
I'm gonna burn my house down
Into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now
And never look back
I'm gonna burn my house down
Into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now
And never look back
I'm gonna burn my house down
And never look back
And never look back
AND NEVER LOOK BACK
What the hell's going on?
Can someone tell me please
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV
I'm black, then I'm white
No! Something isn't right!
My enemy's invisible
I don't know how to fight
What the hell's going on?
Can someone tell me please
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV
I'm black, then I'm white
No! Something isn't right!
My enemy's invisible
I don't know how to fight
The trembling fear
Is more than I can take
When I'm up against
The echo in the mirror
The trembling fear
Is more than I can take
When I'm up against
The echo in the mirror

ECHO...
When I was sleeping, I had a dream.
If I had been awake, would I have screamed?
And who could have seen what was coming next?
Taunting me with her eyes, she disappeared.
I've been running,
always running.
Maybe you know
where she is.
Was my voice heard?
Did she listen?
Someone said I had been dead.
I'm gonna burn my house down
Into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now
And never look back
I'm gonna burn my house down
Into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now
And never look back
I'm gonna burn my house down
Into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now
And never look back
I'm gonna burn my house down
Into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now
And never look back
I'm gonna burn my house down
And never look back
And never look back
AND NEVER LOOK BACK
