Something waits for me in the shadows
I know I'm the one that it follows
Manipulated by the fear
Afraid for everything I hold dear
I will never sleep again
I just don't think that I can
I've watched a thousand men Final track from The Archaic's soon-to-be released first demo.

Lyrics:
Something waits for me in the shadows
I know I'm the one that it follows
Manipulated by the fear
Afraid for everything I hold dear
I will never sleep again
I just don't think that I can
I've watched a thousand men never wake again
Never wake again
You haunt me in my dreams
Can you tell me what that means?
What it means to see you face even when you're not there
Cut the strings and set me free
Free from all this haunting
I will never be me, never be me, until I'm free
Guilt and shame and loss and pain
All become synonymous with your name
All the pain
And the shame
All the same
As your name
All the shame
And the blame
All the same
I tried to vanquish my demons
But I haven't learnt a thing
'Cause I'm still the same man as I was then
Trying to forgive myself for what I've done
I'm still the one who buried you
When you went down you took a part of me with you
Divided without a soul
Never again to be whole
