The Presence

Here you are, you're coming round the corner
And you're near, not far, I see you growing taller
But I've got news for you and you're not going to like it

Here you are, you're hiding in the shadows
And you creep, you slide, bombard me with your arrows
But you can't get me now as I've learned how to trick you

Try and confuse me but you won't get your way
Batter and bruise me but I won't let you stay

Here you come, your voice is getting louder
And you shift, you change, you harness all your power
But you can't get me now as I've worked out your MO

There you go, I feel you getting bolder
As your presence grows, the air is getting colder
But I've got news for you and you're not going to like it

(All the fighting in the streets tonight
All the shouting and the doubting and the voices in my head tonight)

Try and confuse me but you won't wear me down
Batter and bruise me, I'll chase you out of town

I can’t see you but you're there, I can feel you under my skin
Try to find my weakest points but I'm fortified from within

Try and confuse me but you won't get your way
Batter and bruise me but I won't let you stay

I can't see you but you're there, I can feel you under my skin
Try to find my weakest points but I'm fortified from within

It's been hard to work it out, but I've found a way to push through
But at last the time has come and I'm finally rid of you
