Re​:​Telescope Eyes

from Fire, Then Rain by The Shape Of The Earth

/

lyrics

You could say,
You could say my eyes,
You could say my eyes are like telescopes late at night, open wide.

You could call,
You could call my mouth,
You could call my mouth a megaphone screaming out loud, to make new sounds.

but only now and then I can make them right.

you could say,
say that in between,
there's a mess of wires and fire all bright and clean, we're all machines.

and so we feel,
we feel our fear,
we feel weight of the perfect
pulling down our heels from year to year

But every now and then we can make ourselves...

I would know,
I would know the world,
I would know the world is like a giant parachute,
you're strapped onto.
And if you count,
if you count your time,
you don't get that much so you be sure to weigh yourself down,
down to the ground

but every now and then I just get so light.

time will cheat you,
love will leave you,
fate will disappoint you,
but I will never forget you.
