Sentinel

Walked in line
To the beat of another's drum
Single file
Marched on through the dark

Stripped of breath
Cut apart
I followed you
Followed by your word

But this time I feel I've reemerged
From the state of discontent
A fighting plunge to capture you
To bring you deep within

Not like this
Not today
You can't win
You can't walk away
Not for them
Not for you
You can't win
You are here to stay

Playing dead
Your escape
One of many suits you'd wear
For keeping me at bay

Locked inside
Shut away
You passed me by
Let me slip away

But this time I feel I've reemerged
From the state of discontent
A fighting plunge to capture you
To bring you deep within
Yeah, this time I feel it's going to be
The absolution day
You surely knew by giving in
You gave yourself away

Not like this
Not today
You can't win
You can't walk away
Not for them
Not for you
You can't win
You are here to stay see less
