In The Glass
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
At first there was
There was just no question
Who wouldn't rather be there reflection
When I get here everything was cold and perfect
When I get here everything was cold and perfect
It was clear and bright
Like a midwinter sunlight
My heartbeat counting down a moment precise and quiet
I looked out and saw my own reflection helpless
I looked out and saw him overwhelmed and helpless
[Chorus:]
But I
What have I done what have I done
Oooooo (Oh) what have I done
Ooohhhh what have I done
My God, what have I done?
Oooo (OH) what have I done
Ooh what have I done
As time went on
You could feel a silence
Solidifying the sound of my thoughts, paralizing
I tried to come back to and melt the glass and perfect
I tried to come back to and melt the glass and perfect
[Chorus:]
But I
What have I done what have I done
Oooooo (Oh) what have I done
Ooohhhh what have I done
My God, what have I done
Oooh oooo what we can pay
To get what you want
Oooh to get what you want
Oh what have I done
[Repeat x5:]
Every day is the same
We're praying for rain
When it finally came
Oh when it came
Everyday was the same
Still praying for rain
