Filter Lyrics by ThisIsMarshall

ONLOOKER

2018

[Verse 1]
Every door we have to walk through
Every time we make a choice
We heed each other's message
We hear each other's voice
And I watch as all the others
Walk right through the door
But I can't begin the motion
Fear of taking that step forward

[Chorus]
Watching from a distance
Dreaming through a lens
Viewing through a filter
Until my moment ends
Living on the outside
Missing wheres and whens
Hoping for your future
Stuck in my past tense

[Verse 2]
We can see the change in others
In our own time, left behind
Is it that we lack the courage
Or just that we can't find it?
So I'll watch life from the sidelines
And in the darkness hide
And dream on screens forever
As the world passes me by

[Chorus]
Watching from a distance
Dreaming through a lens
Viewing through a filter
Until my moment ends
Living on the outside
Missing wheres and whens
Hoping for your future
Stuck in my past tense

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Is this how the world looks from outside
Forever over the divide?
Watching as the rest of you move on
Left to feel when everyone is gone

[Chorus]
Watching from a distance
Dreaming through a lens (Dreaming through a lens)
Viewing through a filter (Viewing through a filter)
Until my moment ends (Until my moment ends)
Living on the outside
Missing wheres and whens
Hoping for your future
Stuck in my past tense

[Instrumental Outro]
