Watched (Part II)
I stand, I turn once again Maybe my head imagining Hoping, fearing Nothing there but air But still the stare drilling At my back I turn, I stand once again A fleeting shadow while turning Hoping, nothing Curtains limp in air The stare now death willing At my back I jump, I cry, I swing back Afraid to move, afraid to stay Panting, searching The candles blown out Darkness surrounding me All about I cry, I swing, I jump back Darkness strips my mind the safe way Panting, reaching For the safe way out Hands now reaching for me All about The door there, I run, I scream The shadows chase, I run away Howling, raving Madness takes me on The eyes not far away From my heels Run, I scream, I pass in dream I tremble for the light of day Lighting, chasing The shadows move on To chase the eyes away From my heels |

Watched (Part III)
A long time yet to wait The dawn, it comes, yet slow But right behind The shadow gains ground swift Searching for my hide In the dark A long time yet to wait I cower, fear I grow The dark, I'm blind I cannot seem to lift Me from where I bide In the dark And yet I lift, yet I run Away as far as possible Running, hiding It follows darkly Staring hateful daggers At my back And as I lift, as I run Pursued by an impossible Haunting, hating Following darkly Deadly frozen daggers At my back The dawn, at last, it breaks fast Shadows chased away by the light Seeing, knowing Nothing now to fear Except for fear itself I awake It breaks fast, the dawn, at last I feel it safer in the light Knowing, being Something I can bear Having feared for myself I awake |
