Lyrics
You said I imagined/That night, your eyes/Burning glass, crystallized/Burning into mine/Your voice, cracked crystal/Our hearts, our souls/Implicitly joining/In secret alliance/I used to imagine/A mirror cracked/Like thin ice, smooth-surfaced/Sprinkled with powder/But now I only see/Frozen sugar/Cold and sweet, hardening/Your eyes, your heart/And now I only hear/Whispered wishes/Echoed in frozen chasms/Your voice, your heart/My mistake
