Telescope - Cage The Elephant

In a far and distant galaxy

Inside my telescope I see

A pair of eyes peer back at me

He walks and talks and looks like me

Sits around inside his house

From room to room he moves about

Fills his life with pointless things

And wonders how it all turns out

It’s safe to say that

I don’t think you understand!

There’s nowhere left to turn

Walls keep breaking

Time is like a leaf in the wind

Either it’s time well-spent

Or time I’ve wasted

Don’t waste it

Afraid of what the truth might bring

He locks his doors and never leaves

Desperately searching for signs

Too terrified to find a thing

He battens all the hatches down

And wonders why he hears no sound

Frantically searching his dreams

He wonders what it’s all about

It’s safe to say that

I don’t think you understand!

There’s nowhere left to turn

The walls keep breaking

Time is like a leaf in the wind

Either it’s time well-spent

Or time I’ve wasted

Here in my mind

Losing my friends

Fall on my face

Do it again

You say, «How do you do?»

Man, how 'bout you?

Man, how 'bout you?

To be free

To be sold

To be killed

To be saved

In my head, I’m alone

I’m not dead, I’m ashamed

Just like you

I’ve been tryin' to escape

In my bones I feel cold

I give thanks to the Lord

Industry

In this street

Let me go

Let me be

I don’t need to be here

I’m alone

Can’t you see?

Can’t you see?

I don’t think you understand!

There’s nowhere left to turn

These walls keep breaking

Time is like a leaf in the wind

Either it’s time well-spent

Or time I’ve wasted

Don’t waste it
