The Watcher

Taking apart the heart, terrified, justify the reasons why
Baby don't you want to find out what lies inside
I'm digging my grave by keeping the peace, by giving everyone a part of me
As I wait for the watcher to see

While we mediate we propagate the solemn path of a lonely soldier
Raising his arms to punish them as a result of somebody else's orders
Living afraid of everything that could rejuvenate a light inside his armor
The bell of the clock tower rings

Oh and you take from me
Things I've never seen
Things I never knew I'd need
And I've seen you in my dreams
And not the good ones

Cause we travel the world, the land and the sea
To make your discoveries
Just a shell of a man, the absence of a plan
Our dreams in the palm of your hand

Well maybe I'm tearing apart the old dog playing tricks, play your part
Won't you show your cards
Time and time yet again I wait for the day you say to shoot the stars
We're breaking our backs and bearing the scars
Your never there when we're sinking hard
Yet you are the captain of the sea

Well now maybe everything aligns, maybe it's time for me to realize
I've been riding along a passenger with a ghost asleep at the wheel
Coasting in complacency is easy
But sometimes not choosing is making a choice

Oh and you take from me
Things I've never seen
Things I never knew I'd need
And I've seen you in my dreams
And not the good ones

Cause we travel the world, the land and the sea
To make your discoveries
Just a shell of a man, the absence of a plan
Our dreams in the palm of your hand
