Telepathy

Think of me very scientifically
Share your thoughts with me
Send them over land and see

They seep through walls
Echo down abandoned halls
Let me see your joy and fear

How can it be we never see
What we have until it's gone
Why is it so we never know
What we have until it's gone

The more I try, all the faster you'll slip by
So vaporize
Slide to me like liquid ice
I can see into your eyes

Why is it so we never know
What we have until it's gone
Until we burn we never learn
What we have until it's gone

Scientifically
Scientifically

I can see into your eyes
The deepest blue of winter skies

Why is it so we never know
What we have until it's gone
Until we burn we never learn
What we have until it's gone
