Like Veils Said Lorriane (For the Roses Demo)
"It's the veils you tear off one by one," said Lorraine
"No, it's walls we put up," said that tired voice again
The chisel gets blunt and the sword gets profane
Nobody's blame
But you bind up the stone chips in the gauze that you've slain
You get so discouraged trying to cut through it all
More veils beyond veils, always walls behind the walls
"Get back in there" yells the golden glove
"When you gonna trust me?" Slams the friend
Learn how to bend
"Don't you worry now," says the sweet lover with his medicine hands
Oh, I don't wanna grow narrow and foolish in old age
And miss all that beauty, the wisdom and the grace
And you know you don't get that from high finance or fame
If you get stuck in that frame
Oh, the paint that you can put on your face and your name
"No, it's walls we put up," said that tired voice again
The chisel gets blunt and the sword gets profane
Nobody's blame
But you bind up the stone chips in the gauze that you've slain
You get so discouraged trying to cut through it all
More veils beyond veils, always walls behind the walls
"Get back in there" yells the golden glove
"When you gonna trust me?" Slams the friend
Learn how to bend
"Don't you worry now," says the sweet lover with his medicine hands
Oh, I don't wanna grow narrow and foolish in old age
And miss all that beauty, the wisdom and the grace
And you know you don't get that from high finance or fame
If you get stuck in that frame
Oh, the paint that you can put on your face and your name
