Dead Eyes Still Watch

I ain’t blinked in years of sleep, Ain’t no rest that runs this deep. They put me down in rock and dirt — But I still feel what used to hurt. My boots still creak when no one’s near, My name still rings in coward’s fear. I don’t need breath to haunt the dust — Just memories that never rust. Dead eyes still watch, Through the dark, through the rot. You can run, you can hide, But you can’t outride what never died. I don’t knock and I don’t speak, But I see clear through the weak. No prayer, no cross to blot — ’Cause dead eyes still watch. I’ve seen men lie with holy hands, And dig their graves in shifting sands. But justice walks in silence cold — And it don’t care how young or old. Dead eyes still watch, Don’t sleep, don’t stop. You thought the grave would set me free — But I became what you don’t see. I’m the guilt behind your smile, The curse that walks the extra mile. You left me there to rot — Now dead eyes still watch.
