INTRO:
Am I the only one? No others dare to seek
Answers within the world, signs showing what this world means
VERSE I:
I ground a set of lenses and trained them on the stars
I quantified the evening skies, examined every part
I analysed the glory of a thousand cosmic shapes
And watched the glory fade
I searched across the face of God
And found just empty space
CHORUS I:
Look clo - ser, look clo - ser
And surely you'll find your goal
You'll surely find the way
VERSE II:
I built my new laboratory to shelter from the world
I turned my gaze from moons and suns to particles of dirt
But soon surmised my lenses weren't sufficient to display
The truths I sorely craved
I ground more glass, aligned the parts
And recommenced the chase
CHORUS II:
Look clo - ser, look clo - ser
And one day the world will know
The world will know your name
VERSE III:
I'm sure I'm getting nearer, I haven't slept in days
The answers are in front of me, but hidden form my gaze
My lenses won't illuminate the questions that I face
Some truths won't be betrayed
While I fight to reach the light
The silent dark pervades
CHORUS III:
Look clo - ser, look clo - ser
I'll never hide my eyes
I'll never look away
