  • well at first there was, there was just no question
    who wouldn't rather be their reflection?
    and when I got here everything was cold and perfect
    and when I got here everything was cold and perfect

    it was clear and bright like midwinter sunlight
    my heartbeat counted down the moments, precise and quiet
    I looked out and saw my own reflection, helpless
    I looked out and saw him overwhelmed and helpless

    and oh
    what have I done, what have I done?
    what have I done, what have I done?
    my god what have I done,
    oh what have i done?

    and as time went on you could feel the silence
    solidifying and the sound of my thoughts was paralyzing
    I tried to call out to him but the glass was perfect
    I tried to call out to him but the glass was perfect

    but oh
    what have I done, what have I done?
    what have I done, what have I done?
    my god what have I done,
    and what wicked penance
    to get what you want
    to get what you want
    oh what have I done?

    every day is the same: we're praying for rain
    and when it finally came, and when it came,
    every day was the same: still praying for rain Writer/s: DAMIAN KULASH
