Lyrics

Presumed Lyrics (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
