I'm the ever observer
Of things
I can never be a part of
Watching, is the only possibility
As I let things pass me by

I am the ever observer
Of possibilities
I could never have the guts
To thrive
Watching them one by one
As they pass me by

I say I'll catch the next train
I know I have yet missed this one
I say tomorrow is another day
I know today has just begun

I'm the ever observer
Of people
I dare not become surrounded of
Watching them play with each other
As their games pass me by

I'm the ever observer
Of art
I hardly find the will to create
Watching other people's work
As my urge passes through me

I convince myself I'll do it better next time
I know I haven't even started with this one
I promise myself I'll do better next year
I know this year I'm yet beyond

I am the ever observer
Of passion
I daren't let it overcome
Watching impulses being triggered in others
As my mind makes the impulse fade away from my heart

I am the ever observer of life
Life of which
I'm still a part
Watching others live their lives
As mine passes me by
