Bravery - The Spectator lyrics

rate me

The birds are up when he collapses through the door <br />Spilling out in constellations on the floor <br />Soaked in liquor he's soft as bread <br />And everything that's left of him to beckon to his bed <br /> <br />He is a nocturnal always alone <br />But you'll speak in secret codes <br />That he has never known <br />In this world, but not of it <br />So he watches from above it <br />A visitor here, this is not home <br /> <br />[Chorus] <br />I am the spectator <br />I can see the world passing by from here <br />I am just a child, to a man <br />Back to the dust where i began <br />I was never even here at all <br />I am the spectator <br />I am the spectator <br /> <br />His eyes, like two cats, scratching in his head <br />Begging him for sleep, starving for a bed <br />But sleep, it never comes <br />so he ticks the time away <br />Hour after hour, hear them play their bells go <br /> <br />Chime chime chime, ticking ticking time [x2] <br /> <br />[Chorus] <br />I am the spectator <br />I can see the world passing by from here <br />I am just a child, to a man <br />Back to the dust where i began <br />I was never even here at all <br />I am the spectator <br />I am the spectator <br />I am the spectator <br /> <br />And the bells go <br />Chime chime chime, ticking ticking time [x3] <br /> <br />[Chorus] <br />I am the spectator <br />I can see the world passing by from here <br />I am just a child, to a man <br />Back to the dust where i began <br />I was never even here at all <br />I am the spectator <br />I am the spectator <br />I am the spectator<br /><br />
