Bravery, The - 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

[Chorus]
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 [x2]

[Chorus]
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 [x3]

[Chorus]
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

    it would kick ass if this song had a video but the song is awesome enough already.

  11. n.... ....

    A friend of mine linked me this song. The lyrics are amazing...I feel exactly like a spectator.

    C.... ....

    Chime chime chime ticking ticking time so true! I'm feeling as you. :)

  17. W.... M....

    this is some really introspective shit it's like an every motherfucker song maybe the best on the album

  18. I.... C....

    @john36ism KNOW YOUR ALBUMS. Time Won't Let Me Go and Unconditional ARE NOT FROM THIS ALBUM. Slow Poison is okay though.

  19. P.... B....

    "Chime chime chime, ticking ticking time"

  20. N.... ....

    Mike Hindert's voice is SEX.

  21. I.... C....

    @SimoneHussussian Odd or not, this stuff is good, although I'll side with you on the opinion that 'Above and Below', 'Honest Mistake', and 'Believe' are the best.

  22. I.... C....

    @wowlucy Oh yeah.

  23. l.... m....

    coooooooooooool great music :D

  24. S.... I....

    @TLKshoop Shows you how ignorant religious people are

  25. S.... ....

    their songs keep getting weirder and weirder. Their old stuff is better.

    S.... ....

    You are half right. It's just you don't get their new music. Open yourself.

  26. D.... A....

    ah yea true true..... but the message behind the song kinda defeats the usage of the f bomb.

  27. M.... H....

    I want to get a shirt w/ that image on it sooo bad

  28. V.... T....

    @12134227210 - Yeah, they kind of drawl.

  29. D.... A....

    He needs to listen to Believe and Unconditional. Then you say, these are the types of songs they make. If he's still skeptical, make him listen to Song for Jacob and Adored. If HE'S STILL skeptical, go out and buy it behind their back ;)

  30. T.... T....

    no this is definitely devil music

  31. i.... m....

    Love this song...first time I heard it and read the lyrics...very moving and real..and intensely coollllllllllllllllllllllll!!
