Faded Red - The Observer Lyrics
I am a neutral observer perched on a fence aboveDetached from interactions, insults, friendships and loveBelow me lies a pool of all their pent up thoughtsWords that give me nostalgia and a stomach knotI cry out for some meaning, someone who I can holdI’m haunted nightly by these dreams of me alone and oldBut still I sit and wait for my time to comeCHORUS: Sometimes it’s almost real before I falter and foldCan’t defeat my brainSpiraling crazy highs masking their fool’s goldThey’re burning the ground like acid rainI can’t stop, I can’t think, and I’m letting it take me overI’m liking it better when they’re soberI am a tortured soul, a web of conflicting strandsThe key to my best chance lies in my fidgety handsBlessed circumstantially I watch the world unwindFrom places safe and fun, so I’m a hypocrite I findCHORUSSomeday real soon they’ll let me outSo I can now discover what it’s all aboutI’ll sit and watch my soul get tossed asideAnd even as I sleep I’ll look for places to hideWhen 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 successCHORUS
