Message in a Bottle

The Watchers

We are the things at the edge of your sight

We lurk in the shadows and shrink from the light

Apparitions, mirages, and tricks of the mind

If you go looking for us, there's nothing to find.

We always are watching, though never quite there

You've seen us before, but you don't know where

Do you know what we are? - because few humans do -

We're watching the world, and we're watching you, too.

So if you see something move, and you don't know what

Don't be afraid, because it's only us

And don't bother looking, for we can't be seen

We are the Watchers, the Watchers are we.
