Lux
architect's eye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but i can still remember your pale face
i think that if i could reach your smile again
i would leave this frozen place you led me to
oh lux the end is near
oh lux you are so far away
oh lux come soft trough the sheets
oh lux feed the flame with your lies
oh lux make me blind to light
hide and seek, do you remember this
caught in trap, do you remember that - i can
i just can't learn to forget
if i could learn to forget
if i could see what your eyes have seen
if i could kiss the lips you kissed - and i can
but the end is near and nothing is the way i promised
behind the wall built by sorrows
I can still see from a crack
You, white dressed, darkling eyes
Standing to leave
Before decay can rise
the end is near, the end is near, the end is near
nothing is the way it should...
