Shadowed Watchers

เนื้อเพลง

[Intro – heavy doom riff] [Verse I] Three days awake and the curtains closed There's somebody outside, or so I'm told Every little sound becomes a warning sign I can't tell anymore what's yours or mine The shadows move when I turn my head I hear old conversations inside my bed I know what the mirror wants me to see Another frightened stranger staring back at me [Pre-Chorus] Is it in the walls? Is it in my head? Why do I feel hunted when I'm alone instead? [Chorus] EVERYBODY'S WATCHING ME! Or maybe there's nobody there EVERYBODY'S TALKING 'BOUT ME! Or maybe I'm just scared The demons know exactly where my weakest places hide I locked the whole world outside but brought the enemy inside [Heavy guitar riff] [Verse II] I used to take it just to slow things down To kill the noise and level out the ground Then one became two and two became ten Just to feel like myself again Now every blessing comes with interest due Every morning brings another debt to you Depression waits when the high is gone Like an old black dog that follows me home [Chorus] EVERYBODY'S WATCHING ME! Or maybe there's nobody there EVERYBODY'S TALKING 'BOUT ME! Or maybe I'm just scared The demons know exactly where my weakest places hide I locked the whole world outside but brought the enemy inside [Guitar Solo – bluesy, melodic] [Heavy swinging drums] [Bridge – quieter] Who can I trust when I don't trust myself? Who do I blame when there's nobody else? The bottle? The powder? The sleepless nights? Or the man in the mirror who keeps starting the fights? [Heavy riff] [Final Verse] So open the curtains and let daylight in Let me see what is real and where fear begins I won't call it salvation I won't call myself free But maybe not every shadow is coming for me [Final Chorus] EVERYBODY'S WATCHING ME! That's what the sickness says EVERYBODY'S COMING FOR ME! While the fear lives in my head I fed those demons nightly until their whispers became cries Now I'm learning how to face them without closing both my eyes [Outro – slow crushing riff] Still paranoid Still afraid Still carrying the mess I made But tonight... I know the difference between the voices and my own. [Feedback] [End]
