As Matt Hegardy once reported in an interview on American Song Writer, this song is used to talk about an event that caused him troubles: when Hegardy was young, he was attacked by a man with a knife, later resulting in bad dreams consisting in a figure standing over him.

[Verse 1]
I saw you in my mind when I was younger
And I grew older, and I saw you still
You'd stay close to me sometimes behind my shoulder
When I was weary, trouble would come
In my last defense you tried to warn me
I did not know you, you were a demon to me
Your presence, it was a fear that lived inside me
It grew around me, then you would appear
[Chorus]
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
[Verse 2]
I was dead and I was dyin' at your doorway
I did not see you, you did not appear
And between the years, I might have come to know you
But I don't own you, that much is clear
[Chorus]
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
[Outro]
I was afraid someday you'd return
Unchanged at my door as you'd once been before
The flutter of fortune or a bringer of gloom
Out of the darkness and into my room
I was afraid someday you'd return
Unchanged at my door as you'd once been before
The flutter of fortune or a bringer of gloom
Out of the darkness
