Faded Red - 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
