I've watched you weep for burned bridges Long for times now long gone I've seen you cringe under accusing eyes Clinging to the past, unable to let go

There was a time when we were happy There weren't many other people with us But we didn't need anyone else We were happy to be together

It's hard to ignore fear It will keep you safe, I know It keeps you alive, but see that it doesn't let you live

Fear waits around every corner In every dark alleyway Behind the eyes of every stranger Sheltered in the unseen and unknown

You rest on my pillow beside me Smiling when I smile at you You rest your head on my shoulder when no one else is around

I hear you creeping through the night spindly fingers reaching closer whispering in my ear reminding me why I should be afraid

No one can tell you who you're meant to be But remember that a chameleon has its own beauty

Who am I? I don't know what it means to be me I don't know what my voice sounds like

I'm here when you fall asleep And again when you wake up I'll stay here by your side I'll keep you safe always

I watch you while you sleep Infecting your dreams You can't run away from me I'm always waiting for you
