Looking the Wrong Way Down a Telescope - The Darker the Shadow the Brighter the Light

Sum up, the songbirds sound like they are hopeful

Although there’s a cloud and a cloak on the mountain slope

Black as the black of all the clothes I own

Black as the ashes of a city sects

The journey wasn’t as easy as I’ve known

But were I able, you know I journey home

Sitting up at a distance from the glitter

The city just looks like piles and piles of bricks

Looking the wrong way down a telescope

Looks like a long way down to where I’m going

All my reputation had to go

But as you know I never really missed it

Remember, I remember playing hide-and-seek

Now all I know is how to up-and-run

I’ve asked myself that question every hour of every week

And it’s only answered when I’ve found some sleep

I’ve thought I’ve seen them in a crowd of people

From behind they look so close

Looking the wrong way down a telescope

Looks like a long way down to where I’m going

The blood keeps running down when I can dream

My torches never bore of haunting me

Their faces as I tried to explain things

The sun is going down over the town

The wind that started talking about rain

I wish the rain would wash away the blood

Looking the wrong way down a telescope

Looks like a long way down to where I’m going

Looking the wrong way down a telescope

Looks like a long way down to where I’m going
