Smile at our ignorance
They know they're always there
We pretend we don't know
But we do
They know they're always there
We pretend we don't know
But we do
They follow you in rare moments of silence
And call your name
There are moments when you catch a glimpse of them
Out of the corner of your eye
In the lyrics of a song
In the fog of a dream
In the eyes of a stranger
In the sound of the rain
In the lyrics of a song
In the fog of a dream
In the eyes of a stranger
In the sound of the rain
And you can choose to look
And listen
And listen
Or avert your gaze
Or think of other things
Or turn off the volume
Or cover your ears
But the things you leave behind
Are beside you all the time
And will follow you with vigilance
Until such time
That you become
The thing that's left behind
