The Watcher (Schang/Hunt)

Just like my father
And his father before him
I see you all
Nothing gets by me

Watching waiting patiently
657 calls to me

I AM THE WATCHER

What gives you the right
To do as you please?

Welcome to the neighborhood
You’ll be so happy here
If you hear otherwise, they’re all just liars

Welcome to the Boulevard
Just sign your name right here
It’s up to you if I
Let you survive or
Bury you within these walls

I've collected my thoughts
I've put them in writing
And after all
I think of you always

Writing watching constantly
657 calls to me

I AM THE WATCHER

Welcome to the neighborhood…
Are you not happy here under my watchful eyes?
You’re lookin tired…

Whispers on the Boulevard
Is that your name I hear?
I really can’t decide
To let it die
Or play along a little more

‘Cause you’re starting to bore me
That’s what I cannot withstand
You don’t mean much
You’re just another plaything
Taking bullets from my pen

Where are you going?
We’ve barely just begun
You can’t protect your little ones
Their innocence is gone
The damage has been done
The more you lost,
the more I won

I AM THE WATCHER
