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?
