Lyrics

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
