The Veil
Waking up to this ache in my head
Remembering it all as if it were a dream, but no
Such pain can't be dreamed up
Emptiness filling me
A void growing inside
You made sure that I would see
All my deepest regrets
Now I'm left here to be with this hell of my own alone
What is life to you I ask?
What is love to you, a mask?
Hear the cry hear the wail
The surface's breaking as I burn the veil
Tired of falling and tired of fighting
But I know that it is okay
There is no compassion here
As long as the poison flows
I let it go through me
I let myself lay down
It's hard to forget, even harder to forgive
I don't ever want to become that way, no
I won't ever let it go that far
But it's hard to keep going with all this going on
Trying to turn around but it's too late
There's no returning to how it was
The fear, the hate, the tears, the wail
Oh all the things I'd give to make all of this go away
Hate from a life past
Kicking in, bringing back the memories from a lifetime ago
The fear and the unknowing taking turns moulding me
Into something I should not be
I'm turning blind in my mind
Feel the everlasting loathing
Rage manifesting a mind of its own alone
I'd thrust a blade through your heart
Even if it'd destroy me
Through fear and morality
That's what you've made of me
Alone
I know it's up to me to be the better person
But you don't ever have to think about it
In your mind you've won
I can't live within my skin
And I can't change the state I'm in
What is life to you I ask?
What is love to you, a mask?
Hear the cry hear the wail
The surface's breaking as I burn the veil
This I'll do for myself
The hardest thing I've done so far
Because I know I'm the one standing in my way
And when this is all over
I'll forge a new life, a new world
And set a new path, to to find even a moment of peace
Towards happiness
Digging deep within
Facing myself, my true self
Making peace with every inch of me
For these memories will never leave
There's no choice but to fight to preserve the light
Tired of falling and tired of fighting
But I know that it is okay
There is no compassion here
As long as the poison flows
I let it go through me
I let myself lay down
Tired of falling and tired of fighting
But I know that it is okay
There is no compassion here
As long as the poison flows
I let it go through me
I let myself lay down for a while
Remembering it all as if it were a dream, but no
Such pain can't be dreamed up
Emptiness filling me
A void growing inside
You made sure that I would see
All my deepest regrets
Now I'm left here to be with this hell of my own alone
What is life to you I ask?
What is love to you, a mask?
Hear the cry hear the wail
The surface's breaking as I burn the veil
Tired of falling and tired of fighting
But I know that it is okay
There is no compassion here
As long as the poison flows
I let it go through me
I let myself lay down
It's hard to forget, even harder to forgive
I don't ever want to become that way, no
I won't ever let it go that far
But it's hard to keep going with all this going on
Trying to turn around but it's too late
There's no returning to how it was

Tired of falling and tired of fighting
But I know that it is okay
There is no compassion here
As long as the poison flows
I let it go through me
I let myself lay down for a while
