You stand before me in the hallway

Waiting for me to open my mouth

But when I do, you might not like the words

That all come tumbling out

One by one they'll paint the future

That you willingly carved into stone

I can't wait to see your face when I tell you

Something you don't know

You're the stuff of campfire stories

The ghost we whisper of

Wherever you wandered, folk tales followed

Wasn't that enough?

It didn't have to be this way

But this is what you chose

You went from "fine" to "too far gone"

While my eyes were closed

But I will never blink again

I'll keep watch

Wait and see

[Chorus]

I don't expect you'd get it

You can't see from where you stand

But underneath your grand performance

You're just another man

Not a god, a myth or legend

That's not for you to decide

Don't forget I've the weak spots

You're too proud to hide

And I swear I'll never sleep again

I'll keep watch

Just you watch out for me

[Chorus]

Tell me what you want to prove

That's not already known

And tell me who you'll prove it to

Now that you're all alone

You want to beat some gatekeeper

But all you've got is me

I'm looking forward to your answer

What have you done to deserve the key?

I've come far too far to care

What might happen to me

The patron saint of your misfortune

Is all I wanna be

If you tell me to step aside

I'll tell you where to go

I can't wait to see your face when I tell you

Something that you don't already know
