Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can I just watch?
Observe the things I’m not
A carnival in silver
Bodies intertwined
I resist the urge
Of a quiet life
I hide behind the blinds
Hit me, hit me, hit me
[Verse 2]
Myth, make me
Watch you, watching me
Well It’s all I need
Obtain me
Just watch you, watching me
Well It’s all I need
Myth, make me
Just watch you, watching me
Well, it's all I need
It's all I need
[Verse 3]
Can I just watch?
Observe the things I’m not
A carnival in silver
Bodies intertwined
You could be my angel star
You could be my footnote
[Bridge]
Show
Time
Fourteen stories high
I'll hit the big time
Show
You are not so nice
Nice
Fourteen stories high
[Verse 4]
And my lens
And my eyes
They follow you down
To the factory
I play dumb
Smoke screen
Behind blinds
I can’t be seen
A swan song
Falling fast
Onto 12th street
Cross in hand
And I just
Laugh
[Outro]
I just laugh
I just laugh
I just laugh
I just laugh
