Reaper in My Eye

[Verse 1]
Caught in a shadow, lurking right behind,
A silent watcher, peering into my mind.
Fears in the darkness, visions I can't deny,
A specter lurks, deep in my eye.

[Pre-Chorus]
Whispering secrets, haunting my view,
Echoes of a fate I never knew.
Falling deeper, into the sky,
With a reaper always in my eye.

[Chorus]
Reaper in my eye, staring me down,
In the mirror where the shadows drown.
Chasing the reason, I can't defy,
The ominous stare of the reaper in my eye.

[Bridge]
Can I escape, or will I die,
Under the gaze of the reaper in my eye?
Waiting and watching, never too shy,
The dark companion, forever nigh.

[Outro]
So I walk with fear, with a secret inside,
Battling the darkness that I can't hide.
A story of shadows that softly imply,
There's always a reaper in my eye.
