Caius Hubris - Telescope Lyrics

Through your telescope it's all crystal clear
It's different paths we travel on
When you're all alone, and I'm way up here
Will you be there when I get home

I'm a grown man and I just learned what love is
Love is a drug that makes a woman flawless
Love is the overwhelming need to be where she is
Love is unlike what they broadcast to me as a kid
The feel of a warm embrace, kinda makes you appreciate
Every blade of grass in the park where you had your first date
Every grain of sand in the beach where she lives
Every wave that crashed to the shore as you first kissed
Take a step back
Oh no we need the right parameters
Take a step back
We need a heart that bleeds for number
Take a step back
We need to invent a system that a human can toil in
For decades and never seem to get any wisdom
We're raising robots in an outdated model
Learn when to recite the facts and learn when to follow
Learn when to crumple to the will of authority, but
Forget to love your friends unconditionally

Through your telescope, it's all crystal clear
It's different paths we travel on
When you're all alone, and I'm way up here
Will you be there when I get home

And that my dear is why I have to leave you
To steal back the heart of mankind the way that thieves do
To gaffle the baffled minds of the masses
To teach them what this beautiful life really is
Life is not being scared of your neighbours
It's not shocking headlines in local papers
It's not defending industry reeling onward
It's not pretending having feelings is awkward
Take a step back
It's true, that a robot can do what it is that you do
Take a step back
They designed automatons built to undermine you
Take a step back
But you must trust, with some dumb luck, and careful introspection
That our journey will lead us to love our reflections
So why did I pack up and fly away
When I could be there with you as the music plays
When we could be together, whenever, wherever
The truth is, I'd rather be remembered forever

Through your telescope, it's all crystal clear
It's different paths we travel on
When you're all alone, and I'm way up here
Will you be there when I get home

But when I was in college I thought about
What areas that would would most affect the
Future of humanity In my opinion, and, the three areas were
The internet, sustainable energy, and space exploration
Particularly if humanity becomes a multi planetary species
There's kinda like a substantial bifurcation in our
Sort of future if we're either out there among the stars
On multiple planets, or if we're confined to earth until
Some, obviously eventual, extinction event
Not that I'm pessimistic about life on earth
I mean, I think things are likely to be good
