Beneath The Veil

Elation eludes me, always an empty shell within Salvation can leave me open, then where do I begin I find that this heart grows colder, shallow breathing in Damnation will cure the hunger crawling on your skin I know there's blood upon your pillow I seek the will to be alive (I doubt that I'll find it) Beneath the veil, another broken person Stagnation will hold you over until the bitter end Sedation will hold you closer, become your only friend I find when the mind gets bolder, it only makes you bend That demon who's on your shoulder waiting to expand I know there's blood upon your pillow I seek the will to be alive (I doubt that I'll find it) Beneath the veil, another broken person I need to keep the pain inside, that's where I hide it I bleed the vein to cleanse the sacred poison Well now I'm dying to know Why do the bruises still show Well now I'm dying to know I know there's blood upon your pillow The kind you can't even explain away I seek the will to be alive (I doubt that I'll find it) Beneath the veil, another broken person I need to keep the pain inside, that's where I hide it I bleed the vein to cleanse the sacred poison Sacred poison Sacred poison
