Something in the water
Something in your mind
When the hair on the back of your neck stands up
What do you find

At the end of the tunnel
At the end of the line
You get a creeping feeling
Maybe it’s your time

I know you see his face
Up and everywhere
In every shadow and
in every stare
You’re not paranoid
You just “want to be aware”
But you and I know that
What seems may not be there

And every movement
Triggers an alarm
Every inconvenience is
A call to do you harm

You seize up even
At the smallest sound
Every expression is
Your attacker come unbound

I know you see his face
Up and everywhere
In every shadow and
in every stare
You’re not paranoid
You just “want to be aware”
But you and I know that
You can’t live running scared

Officer, there's a man at the end of the platform. He's been following me. I think he's dangerous. No, no, I don't know him. But he's dangerous. You need to check this out. Don't, don't, don't touch me. Don't touch me. There's a man at the end of the platform. He was right there. You need to go check this out. I'm telling you, he was right there. Please.... What's your badge number?

I know you see his face
Up and everywhere
In every shadow and
in every stare
You’re not paranoid
You just “want to be aware”
But you and I know that
What seems may not be there

Good tune but fairly standard fare. The "call to the cop" section is fairly unconvincing and my inherent impatience at song lengths kicks off fairly big time around then.

Liked the music from the intro on. I liked the guitars/rhythm. Wasn't real hip on the vocal melody to start but enjoyed the chorus although it's not super adventurous. I like the train bit, I like that it's not just at the end. Cool bridge bit. Cool bass. Vox took a bit to grow on me which might be due at least partially to the mix, maybe? I like that way you incorporated the challenge. I don't typically like spoken word bits but it works for me here.
