Looking Through The Glass Lyrics

Ida Looking Through The Glass

looking out from nowhere
taking in a view
I see an endless highway
between me and you

nothing is forever
you could spend a lifetime learning that
gather your defenses
they'll always leave you alone

playng back the pictures
I can almost taste it now
memory is so sure
but is never quite what it was

everything's distorted
when you're looking through the glass
pictures change their color
impressions they always pass

markers are all scattering light
pulling shadows
falling on your eyes

we were carrying the corpse
dropped it in a well
tried to salvage something
even though we'd landed in hell

and you creep so silently
in and out of memory
so take another shot before you bend to say goodbye
after all is said and done
you won't take it right
if after all is said
its the only thing on your mind
after all is said
its the only
