The Quiet Observer

(álbum: Transcendental (The Ocean / Mono) - 2015)

Rise, float
Rise, float
Rise, float
Rise, float

Voices whispering below me
Blown through the empty streets
Lost fragments from the uncanny
Nebulized by urban wind
Tales of self-deception
I missed the bigger picture
Now I see

Lights, float
Rise, float
Rise, float
Rise, float

Floating far above them
Above the unsuspecting
Their true face shows where they feel alone
Nothing is hidden
No more secrets
From the invisible guest in every room

So it's all self-deception
I always missed the bigger picture
But now I can see it all

Rise, float
Rise, float
Rise, float
Rise, float

Floating far above them
Above the unsuspecting
Their true face shows where they feel alone
Nothing is hidden
No more secrets
From the invisible guest in every room

I can hear the tap is still running
The clock is still ticking
And outside it's pouring down
Heavy rain
The clock is still ticking
The clock is still ticking

And everything turns
White
Memories of a lifetime passing by

Rewind

Cast into vacuity
Spread your wings
Learn to fly
Time to leave this sphere
Enter the void
Ascend to the sky

Doused in greens and blues and reds
Shimmering deep sea fauna
Deep down in the habitat of radiolaria
We've always reached for the impossible
Now it seems like nothing's tangible
Everything is always visible
Help me find some privacy
In a quiet place inside
A quiet place inside

"Why don't you go make yourself useful and go kill yourself?"

Rise, float
Rise, float
Rise, float
Rise, float

Floating far above them
Above the unsuspecting
Their true face shows where they feel alone
Nothing is hidden
No more secrets
From the invisible guest in every room

Enter the void
Leave it all behind
Enter the void
Ascend to the sky

Doused in greens and blues and reds
Shimmering deep sea fauna
Deep down in the habitat of radiolaria
We've always reached for the impossible
Now it seems like nothing's tangible
Everything is always visible
Help me find some privacy

In a quiet place deep inside
A quiet place deep inside
A quiet place deep inside
A quiet place deep inside
