Rachel Rose Mitchell - Something You Don't Know

You stand before me in the hallway,
Waiting for me to open my mouth
But when I do, you might not like
The words that all come tumbling out
One by one, they'll paint the future
That you willingly carved into stone
I can't wait to see your face
When I tell you something you don't know

You're the stuff of campfire stories,
The ghost we whisper of
Wherever you wandered, folktales followed
Wasn't that enough?
It didn't have to be this way,
But this is what you chose
You went from fine to too far gone
While my eyes were closed

But I will never blink again
I'll keep watch
Wait and see

You stand before me in the hallway,
Waiting for me to open my mouth
But when I do, you might not like
The words that all come tumbling out
One by one, they'll paint the future
That you willingly carved into stone
I can't wait to see your face
When I tell you something you don't know

I don't expect you'd get it
You can't see from where you stand
But underneath your grand performance
You're just another man
Not a god, a myth or legend
That's not for you to decide
Don't forget, I've seen the weak spots
You're too proud to hide.

And I swear I'll never sleep again
I'll keep watch, just you watch out for me

You stand before me in the hallway,
Waiting for me to open my mouth
But when I do, you might not like
The words that all come tumbling out
One by one, they'll paint the future
That you willingly carved into stone
I can't wait to see your face
When I tell you something you don't know

Tell me what you want to prove that's not already known
And tell me who you'll prove it to now that you're all alone
You want to beat some gatekeeper, but all you got is me
I'm looking forward to your answer
What have you done to deserve the key?

I've come far too far to care
What might happen to me
The patron saint of your misfortune
Is all I wanna be
If you tell me to step aside,
I'll tell you where to go
I can't wait to see your face
When I tell you something that you don't already know
