    We Used to Wait

    by Arcade Fire

    I used to write
    I used to write letters, I used to sign my name
    I used to sleep at night
    Before the flashing light settled deep in my brain

    But by the time we met, by the time we met
    The times had already changed
    So I never wrote a letter
    I never took my true heart, I never wrote it down
    So when the lights cut out
    I was lost standing in the wilderness downtown

    Now our lives are changing fast
    Now our lives are changing fast
    Hope that sonething pure can last
    Hope that something pure can last

    It may seem strange
    How we used to wait for letters to arrive
    But what’s stranger still
    Is how something so small can keep you alive

    We used to wait
    We used to waste hours just walking around
    We used to wait
    All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown

    We used to wait
    We used to wait
    We used to wait

    Sometimes it never came
    Sometimes it never came
    Still moving through the pain

    I’m gonna write a letter to my true love
    I’m gonna sign my name
    Like a patient on a table
    I wanna walk again, gonna move through the pain

    Now our lives are changing fast
    Now our lives are changing fast
    Hope that something pure can last
    Hope that something pure can last

    We used to wait
    We used to wait
    We used to wait

    Sometimes it never came
    Sometimes it never came
    Still moving through the pain

    We used to wait
    We used to wait
    We used to wait

    DAY ONE

    OCTOBER 20TH, 2010

    I walked down to the ocean
    After waking from a nightmare
    No moon, no pale reflection
    Black Mirror, Black Mirror

    Shot by a security camera
    You can’t watch your own image
    And also look yourself in the eye
    Black Mirror, Black Mirror, Black Mirror

    I know a time is coming
    All words will lose their meaning
    Please show me something that isn’t mine
    But mine is the only kind that I relate to
    Le miroir casse
    The mirror casts mon reflet partout
    Black Mirror, Black Mirror, Black Mirror

    The black mirror knows no reflection
    It knows not pride or vanity
    It cares not about your dreams
    It cares not for your pyramid schemes
    Their names are never spoken
    The curse is never broken
    The curse is never broken

    Un! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir!
    Black Mirror!
    Un! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir!
    Black Mirror!

    Mirror, mirror on the wall
    Show me where their bombs will fall
    Mirror, mirror on the wall
    Show me where their bombs will fall
