Ivory
All My Faith Lost ... Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One by one my instants
the heart bleeds

The heart falls drop by drop
then sometimes cries

No sound, vague impressions
of space length, time

Your ivory white face
your lips, very softly
all eyes
and then, again, we leave
hand in hand





No one can hear me
I could suffocate
