Son Lux Lyrics

You don't know me
You write my name on your walls
But you don't know me
I feel you tracing my scars
But you don't know me
You don't know me at all
I see you down on your knees
You don't know me at all
You drank your wine from my heart
You don't know me, you don't know me at all
I see you down on your knees
You don't, you don't, you don't know me at all
You see my face in the stars
You write my name on your walls
I feel you tracing my scars
I see you down on your knees
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all
