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