|'''(Verse 1)'''
All the shadows that move across my wall
 
Keep me up in the night as the darkness calls
 
All the devils and saints are in my mind
 
If I scream out at night, it'll be my time
 
it'll be my time, it'll be my time, it'll be my time
 
'''(Verse 2)'''
 
I can see them at night flying next to me
 
All those thoughts in my mind, help me, I can't breathe
 
See the struggle I fight, shadows scream in my mind
 
Leave my maker tonight, and leave the devil behind
 
Leave the devil behind, leave the devil behind, leave the devil behind
 
'''(Chorus)'''
 
They're watching you, they're watching me
 
I can help you now, I can help you see
 
And still they come
 
'''(Verse 3)'''
 
Standing close to the end for everyone in this world
 
People die without clothes, say their stories aren't told
 
All the shadows, they're still and it's a motion call
 
But light the fire in your eyes, still the devils they come
 
Still the devils they come, still the devils they come, still the devils they come
 
'''(Chorus)'''
 
They're watching you, they're watching me (they're watching me)
 
I can help you now, I can help you see (they're watching me)
 
They're watching you, they're watching me (they're watching me)
 
I can help you now, I can help you see
 
And still they come, and still they come
 
Still the devils they come, and still they come
 
'''(Bridge)'''
 
Still the devils they... and still they come
 
Still the devils they come, and still they come
 
Still the devils they come, still the devils they come
 
Still the devils they come, they come, they come, they come, they come
 
'''(Chorus)'''
 
They're watching you, they're watching me (they're watching me)
 
I can help you now, I can help you see (they're watching me)
 
They're watching you, they're watching me (they're watching me)
 
I can help you now, I can help you see
 
And still they come
