I'm coming on back to raise the dead
I watch in the corners and under the bed
I travel by day and hide at night
Simple things drive me to the light.
You'd think that I'd love darkness, no,
You humans put on a fantastic show
And you really think that I'd miss out?
Come on, it's too funny to see you pout.
I really enjoy your tantrums, too,
If only you saw I've been studying you
You sit there and study your books
I don't make a sound so you don't turn to look.
And every time you do the simplest thing
Like laughing with friends or start to sing
I record it down in my little notebook
I will start my recipe, with humans to cook.
I'm not physically cooking, don't you worry now, dear
My full intentions are remaining unclear
I'm studying your works, every piece of your mind
Your feelings and thoughts I've got yet to find.
You're making it hard, oh, why is that so?
No harm, no foul, so far- you know
I'm still far away, I've got a while to wait
It'll take me long touch you, at this rate.
Anyway, here's my story, so listen right now
I've got more to this than I've, so far, allowed
I come out in the day so I can get closer
Follow you to work, the kitchen, even the grocer.
With every little move, I inch closer right then
And with every action, I move closer again
Cracking your knuckles or kicking a ball
I get nearer and nearer with every new fall.
I can't get you when sleeping, no, that wouldn't be fair
Attacking at your innocence is cruelty I can't bare
So I sit during the night and I watch all your dreams
Your conscience is far more complex, it seems.
Then when you wake up, I'm closer once more
On your coat tail as you run out the door
Drinking your coffee and driving to work
Hearing you sing is just an added perk.
I'm the thing the dog barks at when no one's around
They see me even though I do not make a sound
I'm that blur that is moving out of the corner of your eye
The thing that watches you break down and cry.
And when you feel watched, but know you're 'alone'
Just know that I'm with you, but cannot be shown
With every little movement, I get closer, I dare
The only thing between us now is little slivers of air.
I watch in the corners and under the bed
I travel by day and hide at night
