Always watching, but never around
I feel cold and sink to the ground
I can sense it, but I can't see it
It wraps a chain around my heart
Convincing me that the end is a start
I feel a disconnect from all I know
This power shackles me so I gasp for air
They tell me (They tell me)
Help is there
But all I've seen is despair
I've felt the autumn breeze
And I've let sand sink beneath my feet
Now I can't feel a thing
I take my every step along this crooked path
Why do you stay with me?
Stay with me
A light shines and you're blind
You don't see what I see
(What I see)
The darkness never leaves
It hides in all you see
All you see in your memories
The darkness, it never leaves
It hides in all you see
It takes a breath with you when you wake
It takes the color from the smile you fake
(From the smile you fake)
It's with you when you wake
Always watching, but never around
Silent sentry, calm and profound
You hold your will
So tranquil and still
I break the chains off my heart every day
Keeping my mind from drifting away
But I know now it will never leave
Silent sentry, why do you walk with me?
I'm falling, I'm falling behind
It haunts me and leaves me in pieces
I swear I'll never give in to you
Silent sentry, why do you walk with me?
I'm falling, I'm falling behind
It haunts and leaves me in pieces
I'll never give in to you
But you'll just see right through
I don't feel a thing
I've felt the winter breeze and I've seen it
It lies inside of me
How will I feel a thing?
