behind the veil

Behind The Veil

You open up your eyes
To see the life you know
The devil cracks a smile
Reveals the debt you owe

It’s a long never ending
Road that’s pretending to be your home
As you break where you’re bending
You can’t keep defending
This anymore
The silence takes its toll
The silence takes its toll

Hey hey hey
Now you know
Behind the veil
Is dust and bones

Left for dead every hope for tomorrow
As the sands of time run low
Now it’s too late
So let it go

Hey hey hey
Why can’t you see
That what you take
Is never free?

All the moments we trade leave us hollow
Never worth what we lose in the end
The deal was made
And now you’re spent

There’s nothing left to be taken
There nothing left that can get you off
When all the luster has faded
You realize in the end it’s all for not

Still you don’t know when to stop

You open up your eyes
To see the life you know
The devil cracks a smile
Reveals the debt you owe

There’s nothing left to be taken
There nothing left that can get you off
When all the luster has faded
You realize it was all for not

So now you’re going through changes
So what is left? Do you care at all?
When all the luster has faded
You realize in the end it’s all for not

Still you don’t know when to stop

Still you don’t know when to stop
