lyrics

It's strange seeing life through a spyglass
Stranger still, waking up in the sky as
Headlights pass by, and I'm high as
Satellites little flashing lights that fly past

Streetlights, they make clever shadows,
but it seems even they have hit a sad low.
They circle me, like black crows,
and reach for me, but am I me? I don't know.

Strange to have a broken mind,
watching time tick by
faster than a heartbeat,
awoken by thoughts so wild.
A smirking conscience, joking, mine,
says to wait a while
as thoughts they drift to nothing, why?
I guess it's goodbye, high

I see myself in the puddle's mirror,
and ripples, they just make my face grow clearer.
I can feel the ground draw nearer.
Oh, and everything is getting queerer

It's strange seeing life through a spyglass.
Stranger still, now that the night's passed.
Not sure where I am, so I ask
"if I'm coming down anyway, why not crash?"

I guess it's goodbye, high
Guess it's goodbye
