I do know well
every breath breathes
farewell
it's so still
no soul could tell
but one day
like this
the angels fell
and it's never quite what it seems
and it bleeds
this setting sun
and my arms ache
from holding on
let it go
this dying light
makes it hard to tell
wrong from right
and it's never quite what it seems
all the shadows of our doubts
and the light that burns too bright
soon burns out
and your face
you do know well
that the race is lost
hold still
'cause the first
shall be the last
those that burn with thirst
will lift their glass
and it's never quite what it seems
and your face I do know well every breath breathes farewell it's so still no soul could tell but one day like this the angels fell and it's never quite what it seems and it bleeds this setting sun and my arms ache from holding on let it go this dying light makes it hard to tell wrong from right and it's never quite what it seems all the shadows of our doubts and the light that burns too bright soon burns out and your face you do know well that the race is lost hold still 'cause the first shall be the last those that burn with thirst will lift their glass and it's never quite what it seems Explain Request ×
