All About Sentry - You Don't Know Bob

/// A SENTRY SONG CREATED WITH AI /// https://x.com/AllAboutSentry /// LYRICS I hear you whisper when you think I'm gone. "He's dangerous." "Something's wrong." "How long until he loses control?" "How long until he tears us all apart?" You talk about him like he's a loaded gun. Like all that power means the damage has already been done. You count the cities he could destroy. You measure every nightmare like it tells you who he is. But you don't know Bob. You don't see him when the room is quiet. You don't hear every voice that tells him what he could become. And you don't see him choose not to. So say it again. Say he's weak. Say he's unstable. Say he can't be trusted. I'll tell you what I see. YOU DON'T KNOW BOB! YOU DON'T KNOW THE MAN I LOVE! YOU SEE A GOD WITH A BROKEN MIND AND THINK THAT'S ALL HE'S MADE OF! YOU DON'T KNOW BOB! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HARD HE FIGHTS! HE COULD TEAR THE WORLD APART BUT HE SPENDS EVERY DAY HOLDING HIMSELF TIGHT! YOU CALL THAT WEAK? YOU CALL THAT FRAIL? THEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP THAT DARKNESS BEHIND THE VEIL! THAT'S BOB. THAT'S THE MAN I KNOW. THAT'S THE MAN I LOVE. Yes, he's dangerous. Do you think I don't know? I've watched the sky bend around him. I've watched him cross the distance before I could blink. I've seen what happens when the Void gets through. I've seen his eyes change. I've felt the whole room change with them. So don't tell me I don't understand. I understand exactly. That's why I'm angry. Because you look at everything he could do— and forget everything he refuses to do. He could punish every person who ever frightened him. He could make the whole world kneel at his feet. But he doesn't. He comes home. He sits beside me. He asks me what I want for dinner. He worries about his friends. He worries about strangers. That's the man you want locked away? YOU DON'T KNOW BOB! YOU DON'T KNOW THE MAN I LOVE! YOU SEE A GOD WITH A BROKEN MIND AND THINK THAT'S ALL HE'S MADE OF! YOU DON'T KNOW BOB! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HARD HE FIGHTS! HE COULD TEAR THE WORLD APART BUT HE SPENDS EVERY DAY HOLDING HIMSELF TIGHT! YOU CALL THAT WEAK? YOU CALL THAT FRAIL? THEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP THAT DARKNESS BEHIND THE VEIL! THAT'S BOB. THAT'S THE MAN I KNOW. THAT'S THE MAN I LOVE. You want a hero who never hears a voice. You want a hero who never doubts his choice. You want someone who can carry all that power without ever wondering what happens if he falls. Fine. Go find your perfect hero. Bob isn't perfect. Bob gets scared. Bob gets lost. Bob wakes up some mornings and doesn't trust his own thoughts. And then he gets up anyway. That's what you don't understand. The fight isn't over there. The fight is in here. Every single day. And somehow, he still chooses us. He doesn't need a cage. He doesn't need a handler. He needs somebody who remembers who he is when he forgets. He needs somewhere he can put the Sentry down. Somewhere he doesn't have to be a god. Somewhere he can just be Bob. And if you can't understand that— then maybe you're the ones who don't know him. Because yes— He could destroy you. He could destroy me. He could destroy everything. And that's exactly why his choice matters. Every time he says no to the darkness— THAT MATTERS! YOU DON'T KNOW BOB! YOU DON'T KNOW THE MAN I LOVE! YOU SEE EVERYTHING HE COULD BECOME AND FORGET EVERYTHING HE'S DONE! YOU DON'T KNOW BOB! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S WON! EVERY DAY HE HOLDS THE DARKNESS BACK AND STILL GETS UP TO SAVE SOMEONE! HE IS NOT WEAK! HE IS NOT YOUR WEAPON! HE IS NOT SOME BOMB WAITING FOR YOU TO FIND THE SWITCH! HE IS A MAN! HE IS MY MAN! AND EVERY DAY HE FIGHTS A WAR YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO SEE! SO KEEP YOUR WHISPERS! KEEP YOUR FEAR! I KNOW THE MONSTER. I'VE SEEN HIS FACE. AND I KNOW THE MAN WHO MAKES HIM STAY IN HIS PLACE! THAT'S BOB! THAT'S THE WHISPERS! I KNOW THE MONSTER! THAT'S THE MAN I KNOW! THAT'S THE MAN I LOVE! So go ahead. Call him dangerous. I won't argue. He is. That's the point. You don't prove someone's goodness by giving them nothing to resist. You prove it by giving them everything— Everything they could ever want. Everything they could ever destroy. Everything they could ever become. SO KEEP YOUR WHISPERS! KEEP YOUR FEAR. THATS THE MAN I KNOW. THAT'S THE MAN I LOVE.
