The Spectator Lyrics - Stir The Blood - Bravery

The birds are up when he collapses through her door 

Spilling out in constellations on her floor 

Soaked in liquor he is soft as bread 

And everything that's left in him to beg her to his bed 

He is a nocturnal always alone 

They all 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 

The 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 

And 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 

And 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, I am the spectator
