Writings on the Wall
Lovex · Pretend or Surrender [2008]
The ruins of our lives
My dusty eyelids rise to let hope
Blind my sight
Between the closing walls
A breeze revives my mind
I run into the darkness
Praying we could escape
Is this moment the last chance to change the course
For I know she can't take, she can't take this for long
Is this the chance that I've been looking for
(That I've been looking)
For to change the writings on the wall
(The writings on the)
I collect the puzzles wishing
The tears could fill a well
Deep enough to sink our problems
Once and for all
Is this moment the last chance to change the course
For I know she can't take, she can't take this for long
Is this the chance that I've been looking for
(That I've been looking)
For to change the writings on the wall
(The writings on the)
The wall
Is this the chance that I've been looking for
Time after time, wrong after right, but never again
Will I let things roll without taking control of myself
Is this the chance that I've been looking for
(That I've been looking)
For to change the writings on the wall
(The writings on the)
The wall
Is this the chance that I've been looking for
