The Observer Lyrics

I am a neutral observer perched on a fence above

Detached from interactions, insults, friendships and love

Below me lies a pool of all their pent up thoughts

Words that give me nostalgia and a stomach knot

I cry out for some meaning, someone who I can hold

I'm haunted nightly by these dreams of me alone and old

But still I sit and wait for my time to come

CHORUS: Sometimes it's almost real before I falter and fold

Can't defeat my brain

Spiraling crazy highs masking their fool's gold

They're burning the ground like acid rain

I can't stop, I can't think, and I'm letting it take me over

I'm liking it better when they're sober

I am a tortured soul, a web of conflicting strands

The key to my best chance lies in my fidgety hands

Blessed circumstantially I watch the world unwind

From places safe and fun, so I'm a hypocrite I find

CHORUS

Someday real soon they'll let me out

So I can now discover what it's all about

I'll sit and watch my soul get tossed aside

And even as I sleep I'll look for places to hide

When can I break the ties of falling prisoner to her eyes?

When will my self-esteem help me become a woman's dream?

When can I leave the fence? Begin my life, and make some sense?

My time has come to be the one who observes my own success

CHORUS
