## Lyrics

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
