Veil

I can see it now
Standing on the edge
With blood on its skin and body
And pain in its head
I try to talk it down
Though it says go away
It says my words are a weapon
That will cause it great pain
And it says
Please, please don't hurt me

But I would not hesitate, not hesitate
To go and buy I gun
If I thought that it might stop someone
From doing something dumb
And I'd fire each bullet I got
To try and save your life
I'd be sorry if it hurt you
But at least you'd be alright
And if something went wrong
And I couldn't save you
With all my wits and might
Then I'd never forget it
Then I'd never forget

I can hear it now
That voice inside my head
It's your voice, cracking like bones
Of someone long lost and dead
You say your worry a lot
You worry every day
It says to forget about it
Put the weapon away
And it says
Please, please don't hurt me

But I would not hesitate, not hesitate
To go and buy I gun
If I thought that it might stop someone
From doing something dumb
And I'd fire each bullet I got
To try and save your life
I'd be sorry if it hurt you
But at least you'd be alright
And if something went wrong
And I couldn't save you
With all my wits and might
Then I'd never forget it
Then I'd never forget
