lyrics

Below the monolith I
Spoke as a child
Through a glass darkly

Kill the lights and close the doors
Along the forty-second floor
Through a glass darkly

The city it dreams
An infinite view
Reflecting me, reflecting you
Came in a dream
Black-bronze hue
Reflecting me, reflecting you

By the time you opened your eyes
She was not in sight
Retreating from the windows into fluorescent light
She was not in sight

After the third great fire
We'll build a bridge across the sky
Through a glass darkly

The city it dreams
An infinite view
Perfecting me, perfecting you
What might have been
Black-bronze hue
Reflecting me, reflecting you

By the time you opened your eyes
She was not in sight
Retreating from the windows into fluorescent light
She was not in sight

It's been a hard winter
I learned a deep hunger
My body's a dark hollow
I wish you'd come back
From the cold fluorescent light
