Them Lyrics

They're lurking in the distance

I think that I've been followed here

They're sneaking up behind me

I see them with my eyes closed

They live inside my shadow

And they're here to keep my conscience clear

I didn't want to meet them

But now I think I need then

I miss them when they leave me on my own

I never meant to lead this world this world alone

Guess someone had to throw this dog a bone

So Jesus didn't have to

Ain't that right?

They fill me up with darkness

Now I only see light

I met them in a nightmare

Now my life is a dream

They came when I was hungry

Now I don't have to eat

They came when I was tired

Now I don't have to sleep

They came when I was just one man

Now I feel like I'm three

They came when I was hurting

Now I feel like I'm free

I miss them when they leave me on my own

I never meant to lead this world this world alone

Guess someone had to throw this dog a bone

So Jesus didn't have to

I didn't want to lead a fractured life

But I guess that's just how the stars aligned

There's something in my past I can't atone

With them, I'll never have to

Ain't that right?

They came when I was tired (I'm just trying to get some sleep)

They came when I was hollow (I'm just trying to get some sleep)

They came when I was hungry (I'm just trying to get, just trying to get some sleep)

I see them with my eyes closed (I'm just trying to get some sleep)

Eyes closed

miss them when they leave me on my own

I never meant to lead this world this world alone

Guess someone had to throw this dog a bone

So Jesus didn't have to

Ain't that right?

I didn't want to lead a fractured life

But I guess that's just how the stars aligned

There's something in my past I can't atone

With them, I'll never have to

Ain't that right?
