[Verse 1]
I carved your whispers into stone
Traced every fault you sold me on
You lit the fuse and watched me burn
Now I bleed truths you’ll never learn

[Pre-Chorus]
I chased your ghosts down every street
But some machines refuse to sleep
So let me fall where I belong
A silhouette in your closed song

[Chorus]
I’ll be the villain in your frame
Let me wear the fire, bear the blame
You can paint me black, rewrite the lines
I don’t need your mercy this time
I’ll be the villain, I’ll take the fall
When I disappear, don’t wait for my call
Some truths don’t need a crown
I’ll wear this crooked gown

[Verse 2]
You stacked your verdict in the air
Built a courthouse on thin air
You called me liar, prayed I’d fight
But I let go—you keep your light

[Pre-Chorus]
No more reflections in your glass
No more cage behind the mask
I’ll drift away where stories end
Your broken hearts won’t drag me in

[Chorus]
I’ll be the villain in your frame
Let me wear the fire, bear the blame
You can paint me black, rewrite the lines
I don’t need your mercy this time
I’ll be the villain, I’ll take the fall
When I disappear, don’t wait for my call
Some truths don’t need a crown
I’ll wear this crooked gown

[Bridge]
Don’t plead for reasons I won’t give
Don’t pray I stay to make you live
Some scars become their own refrain
I’ll haunt your mind, unchained, unnamed

[Chorus (×2)]
I’ll be the villain in your frame
Let me wear the fire, bear the blame
You can paint me black, rewrite the lines
I don’t need your mercy this time
I’ll be the villain, I’ll take the fall
When I disappear, don’t wait for my call
Some truths don’t need a crown
I’ll wear this crooked gown

[Outro]
Fade me out in your memory
A cautionary melody
Let me be the worst you’ve known
I’m finally free to walk alone.

Fade me out from you, Rou
I’ll never be with you
Fade me out from you, Rou
I’m never coming back to you.

Light

Villain in Your Frame

[Verse 1]
Silent embers drift where starlight used to bloom,
Ghosts of fire whisper in the endless gloom.
Fractured heavens weep as echoes turn to shade,
The tapestry of time unravels, dim and frayed.

[Pre-Chorus]
Time unravels—silent specters call,
Each ember wanes—no refuge left at all.

[Chorus]
Entropy increases—no place to turn or run,
Chaos plays its melody—no mercy for the sun.
Stars dissolve in silence—there’s no point to fight,
Everything is fading… in the collapse of light.

[Verse 2]
A sealed horizon—no path to turn around,
Trapped in decay where silence is the only sound.
No force can mend what’s doomed to decline,
Entropy climbs—no savior, no sign.

[Pre-Chorus]
Time unravels—silent specters call,
Each ember wanes—no refuge left at all.

[Chorus]
Entropy increases—no place to turn or run,
Chaos plays its melody—no mercy for the sun.
Stars dissolve in silence—there’s no point to fight,
Everything is fading… in the collapse of light.

[Bridge]
No escape within—bound by fading light,
An isolated system, unraveling in flight.
Everything’s lost beyond the edge of sight,
All is fading now… in the collapse of light.

[Outro ×2]
In the collapse of light, our destiny is spun;
Embrace the fleeting void—nothing is ever won.

Collapse of Light

[Verse 1]  
In the labyrinth of midnight, we wander through sorrow’s hall.  
Rou, your spectral touch ignites a fragile, haunted call.  
Within these silent chambers, where lost hearts dare to roam,  
I whisper your name in echoes—never quite the same.  

[Pre-Chorus] (×2)
Whisper, whisper, whisper of Rou.  
In the depths of despair, I’m drawn back to you.  

[Chorus]  
Whispers has haunted my sleepless nights,  
Your memories—ghosts within my mind.  
Whispers of Rou, whispers of Rou,  
In the silence, I cannot leave you behind.  
Through you, Rou, perhaps I dare to love you, Rou.  

[Verse 2]  
Under a pallid moon and skies that weep with time,  
Your eyes, like fading lanterns, flicker in my mind.  
Every tear that carves the page reveals a love grown rue.  
Rou, oh Rou, my soul is marked by the grief of you.  

[Pre-Chorus]   
Whisper, whisper, whisper of Rou.  
In the gloom of night, I’m forever drawn to you.  

[Chorus]  
Whispers has haunted my sleepless nights,  
Your memories—ghosts within my mind.  
Whispers of Rou, whispers of Rou,  
In the silence, I cannot leave you behind.  
Through you, Rou, perhaps I dare to love you, Rou.  
  
[Outro] (Whispered) 
In every fractured moment, every tear that stains the dark,  
I trace the remnants of our love—a solitary, dying spark.  
Among the ruins of our dreams, where lost promises lie undone,  
I murmur, “Through you, Rou, and maybe I love you, Rou,”

Your echo trails me everywhere.

Bass drums boom like distant wars.

Your silhouette drifts on memory’s ocean.

Your whisper curls through every scream.

Oh, light is gone—but here you stay,  
A phantom pulse that will not stray.

Your shadow guides me through the grit.

Your absence fills the air I breathe.  
Light is gone—but you remain,  
My silent muse in every pain.

Darkness

My Silent Muse

[Verse 1] 
She vanished like smoke in verdigris skies,
A flicker of truth wrapped in beautiful lies.
Her silhouette danced, then drifted away,
Like breath on a mirror that won’t ever stay.

[Chorus]
It bleeds my light; it dims my weary sight,
Drowning vibrant days in an endless night.
A ravenous ghost that feasts on every spark,
Turning faded hope into boundless dark.

[Verse 2]
Memories once bright now shards of glass,
Echoes of laughter echo through empty past.
Her melody lingers in hollow rooms,
A lamenting sound that endlessly resumes.

[Chorus]
It bleeds my light; it dims my weary sight,
Drowning vibrant days in an endless night.
A ravenous ghost that feasts on every spark,
Turning faded hope into boundless dark.

[Bridge]
The Light Eater unmasked, but still roams,
It is grief itself, a devourer of our homes,
It dons your voice, it wears your skin,
Draining joy from every bone within.

[Final Chorus] 
It bleeds my light; it dims my weary sight,
I wander hollow through this endless night.
Though all embers die in sorrow’s silent schemes,
I breathe—haunted by these fractured dreams.

[Outro] 
In twilight’s hush, embers of hope remain,
Grief’s shadow fades like fog after the rain.

Light Eater

[Verse 1]  
She walks the edge where silence screams,  
A whisper caught between two dreams.  
Gaslit halls and fractured lies  
Trace the cracks behind her eyes.  

[Verse 2]  
He builds a bridge with words unsaid,  
Finds truth in shadows she won’t shed.  
Accountability slips away,  
Like morning mist at break of day.  

[Chorus]  
On the threshold where light and dark entwine,  
Secrets linger in every line.  
She pulls him close, then leaves him cold—  
A story half-told, a heart on hold.  

[Verse 3]  
Mirrors twist the fractured past,  
Memories slip too fast to last.  
She denies what’s carved in stone,  
Then wonders why he feels alone.  

[Bridge 1]  
Between the flame and lingering smoke,  
Their fractured vows remain unspoke.  
He chases echoes of her name,  
Not knowing he’s become her game.  

[Chorus]  
On the threshold where light and dark entwine,  
Secrets linger in every line.  
She pulls him close, then leaves him cold—  
A story half-told, a heart on hold.  

[Bridge 2]  
On the threshold where light and dark entwine,  
Secrets linger in every line.  

[Outro]  
She pulls him close; the twist unwinds.  
He’s both the answer and the line.  
The twist revealed, the mask undone—  
In her world, he's nothing but another one.

[Verse 1] 
You were the light in a house made of rain,  
a warmth I held with hands of pain.  
I built this place with ash and gold—  
a home for you when nights grew cold.  

[Pre‑Chorus] 
But lights don’t stay where shadows cling,  
and love can die while wearing rings.  

[Chorus]  
Now this sanctuary holds your glow,  
but you’re not here—and I won’t go.  
I speak your name through hollow halls,  
where every whisper breaks and falls.  

[Verse 2] 
You slipped like fire through careful hands,  
a fading note in ruined plans.  
I lit each room with what we were,  
but stars don’t wait for those who stir.  

[Pre‑Chorus] 
I kept your light when you grew dim,  
and watched the dusk crawl back within.  

[Chorus] 
Now this sanctuary holds your glow,  
but you’re not here—and I won’t go.  
I speak your name through hollow halls,  
where every whisper breaks and falls.  

[Verse 3] 
You slipped like fire through careful hands,  
a fading note in ruined plans.  
I lit each room with what we were,  
but stars don’t wait for those who stir.  

[Pre‑Chorus] 
I kept your light when you grew dim,  
and watched the dusk crawl back within.  

[Chorus Reprise]  
Now this sanctuary holds your glow,  
but you’re not here—and I won’t go.  
I speak your name through hollow halls,  
where every whisper breaks and falls.  

[Outro]  
I wasn’t made to hold the sun—  
but I still burn, and now you're gone.  
Another love you lost…  
You were the light—I held you tight,  
but even stars can die at night.  

This place remembers what I lost—  
a light long gone… a sanctuary,  
which keeps my ghost.

Sanctuary of my Ghost

[Verse 1]  
In the void where dying stars implode,  
Cosmic embers whisper secrets of old.  
Galaxies crumble into memories of flame,  
As order dissolves into chaos without name.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Time wields its scythe in silent, endless gloom,  
Every spark fades as fate carves out our doom.  

[Chorus]  
Entropy increases—feel the fall of all.  
Chaos claims the cosmos—hear the final call.  
In the collapse of light, our destiny is spun,  
Embrace the fleeting void; nothing ever is won.  

[Verse 2]  
Once-bright worlds shatter in the wake of time,  
The dance of matter succumbs to fate’s design.  
In every crumbling shard of once-ordered lore,  
Entropy grows, promising an end we can't ignore.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Time wields its scythe in silent, endless gloom,  
Every spark fades as fate carves out our doom.  

[Chorus]  
Entropy increases—feel the fall of all.  
Chaos claims the cosmos—hear the final call.  
In the collapse of light, our destiny is spun,  
Embrace the fleeting void; nothing ever is won.  

[Bridge]  
In the echo of the void, hope shreds like brittle art.  
Entropy reigns supreme—binding soul and star apart.  

[Chorus/Outro]  
Entropy increases—feel the fall of all.  
Chaos claims the cosmos—hear the final call.  
In the collapse of light, our destiny is spun,  
Embrace the fleeting void; nothing ever is won.

Echo of the Void

O LXS Projects nasceu de um desejo simples e poderoso: liberdade. Victor, sentindo-se preso às amarras de uma antiga banda, cruzou caminhos com Saulo — e ali surgiu uma parceria baseada na leveza, na confiança e na vontade de criar algo verdadeiro. Juntos, deram forma a um universo musical feito de silêncio e intensidade, onde a melancolia se mistura com beleza, e a introspecção ganha voz. Tudo com agilidade, entrega e alma.
Desde 2024, o duo vem construindo uma discografia íntima e conceitual, feita de fragmentos emocionais. As canções falam de solidão, passagem do tempo, amor que ficou no passado, e a difícil arte de se reconstruir. Mais do que álbuns, são cartas abertas. Registros sonoros de quem sente muito e escolhe transformar isso em som.

Multidimensional being, trapped in a physical realm experience.

I'm a boundary-pushing artist whose work fuses raw poetry, immersive soundscapes, and striking visual artistry into a singular creative vision. I independently crafts every facet of my art—vocals, composition, production, lyricism, and artwork—transforming deep personal introspection into electrifying sonic narratives. My music channels the raw energy of alternative/progressive rock, the haunting ambience of post-punk, and the ethereal depth of indie, with just enough metal edge to ignite catharsis.

Behind the artistry lies a journey marked by profound resilience. Three years ago, an unfortunate accident not only left me with partial vocal cord paralysis—making every performance a testament to endurance—but also robbed him of the ability to play the piano, my favorite creative outlet, forever. Refusing to be subdued by these setbacks, I reinvented my approach: I embraced digital techniques to rediscover my passion for music and, similarly, taught myself digital art. My Instagram is now a vibrant gallery of my new creative endeavors, where drawing and digital expression take center stage.

I aspired to see my personal poetry evolve into emotionally impactful anthems, and my self-crafted visuals extend the narrative of internal struggle and rebirth. Now, as I push my creative vision into new sonic territories, I'm seeking a lead female vocalist to join me on my next project—an invitation to explore fresh harmonies and deeper dimensions of storytelling.

I have a hypothesis regarding music, which is: matter in our universe is perpetually in motion; nothing remains completely still. It resembles an everlasting dance, influenced by the smallest forms of existence that define matter at a quantum level. Furthermore, the very fabric of space-time is composed of waves. Therefore, I can only speculate that our universe communicates with us through sound and music.


If math is the language of the universe, then music must be its poetry.
