VEIL OF MAYA LYRICS

1. Wounds

[Instrumental]

2. Crawl Back

I will be known and I will scream it
I will be known today
Relayed into thoughts of tranquil society, as this is our last nights rest
I will be known and I will scream it
I will be known today
If these are all the wounds that we suffer, then we are the lucky ones [2x]
If this is all the time we have then we must move forward, forward
I can't be your only savior
This will break under
Under the pressure of their eyes I can't feel guilt I can't feel shit [2x]
I can't feel shit
I can't feel guilt I can't feel shit
Do I need to repeat myself?
You can't crawl back can't crawl towards the light [2x]
I am now numb [7x]

3. Mark The Lines

Lost in the woods of a dream
Call it an American one but we couldn't be further from home
So we rode, in the search of a place to rest our bloodshot eyes
But everything has a price to pay, everything has a price to pay
In the face of a stranger there was no sympathy to be found
So we'll draw from the innocence
Don't make me regret this
Mark the lines, right now
Mark the fucking lines
We have been double crossed
Let the pain begin
Mark the lines whats done is done, we have been double crossed
Everything has a price to pay don't make me regret
This was never the way, still no answer
Will you stand by me when I collapse

4. It's Not Safe To Swim Today

I knew this would be hell, but this is not living
Push them down and exhale water
Push them down and exhale blood
Push them down and exhale water
Push them down and exhale blood
Breathe
You wanted this
And if we can't even trust ourselves how can we trust anyone else
It's not safe to swim today, it's not safe
I don't think I can be saved
This shallow water is my grave
I don't think I can be saved
push them down...
Push them down and exhale water
Push them down and exhale blood

5. Entry Level Exit Wounds

Dirty habits and dirty lives
She can't hold back
She must fulfill the end of the addiction

Hunting, sweating, freezing
Just another day in the life of a dead girl

She can't live without her shit
Rock bottom is just around the corner,
And she has a first, a first class ticket.
Test the vein, prep it
Tie the knot, make the blood clot...
Needle in. "Oh, what sin!", they all say

Just wait there's more.
More from this whore?
Oh yes, there is...
She ruined ruined her ruined her kids.

In a world where few, few can understand,
She's full of full of fucking pity
in this life who is she, who is she kidding
Now she has entry level wounds, entry level exit wounds
Now she has entry level exit wounds
Her face is missing

6. Pillars

[Instrumental]

7. We Bow In Its Aura

Triumphant beyond its glory
Like a towering prize they stand tall
From their hands a demonic entity, as it comes to life
The electric playground breathes irradiant light
Muses the eyes of the faithful with a single touch
The electric playground
Muses the eyes of the faithful with a single touch
Cauterization envelops your soul as all joy drains
From your body
Knees collapsing, you bow in its aura
In the crowd a head gives the word
With a blue glow the playground comes to life
Unveiling the secret in us all
Knees collapsing, we bow in its aura

8. All Eyes Look Ahead

Chariots ride above fiery craters
Uncertain a mist appears ahead
Solvent and simple the figure approaches
Stench of the dead stings my nostrils, the sulky
Figure whispers to me
Ultimate sacrifice or be condemned
I raise to my knees cutting his work in two
Life and death so simply put
I wrap my hands around his cold shape, I wrap my
Fucking hands
Screaming till my lungs bleed I clench
Screaming till my lungs bleed I end this

9. Sever The Voices

We all know what lies behind the walls of deceit.
These are the thoughts that keep him awake.
These are the thoughts that keep him awake.

He contemplates his fate.
He has to decide,
He has to decide what it is he truly wants.

An hour of pleasure or two ruined lives?
He has to decide.
He can't sever the voices from his mind.

This time no trust, this time
What is his choice, not what is his fate.
To destroy all that is beautiful in not only his life but hers too?
What is his choice,

What is his choice, not what is his fate.
To destroy all that is beautiful in not only his life but hers too?

Separate the time and place, he has come to the end, the end.
He holds onto false ideas of what makes a man.
He thinks no more about the love of another,
He chooses to only satisfy himself.
Selfishness is not the word.

He has chosen but he knows this is wrong.
And he chooses, and he chooses...
He inserts... death for lust. She grieves.
He inserts... death for lust. She grieves.

he must ⬥choose what he wants
he must ⬥choose what he wants

She puts her hands around his weak and sweaty neck.
He's turned cold blue now.
Cold blue now
He's turned cold blue now
He's turned cold blue now

There is blood and there are tears for this occasion.
She can't sever the voices from his mind.

10. It's Torn Away

This is the last time I will struggle
The eyes of a million follow each step I take walking further into hell
The weak and willing wither under the weight of their own restraint
We hold an ideal of the way it's supposed to be
Every motion creates a canyon left empty
Slowly the path begins to crumble and split
Destruction lurks waiting to fill the void
While the other motions grief and iridescent light
A sense of knowing and divide, this is a choice in which we all relate
A sense of knowing and divide, grief and iridescent light
This is a choice make up your mind
Following step by step in each of our lives
Eyes always following and watching speaking tongues unknown
Following step by step I go [2x]
It's torn away when I try to hold on [3x]
I grab the end of my senses, dragging them to reality
And as I see who I am now this is the path to being free
I grab the end of my senses, dragging them to reality
And as I see who I am now this is the path to being free
This is the last time I will struggle
The eyes of a million follow each step I take walking further into hell
The weak and willing wither under the weight
We hold an ideal of the way it's supposed to be
Seemingly perfect like a grid composed of dots
Following step by step in each of our lives
Eyes always following and watching speaking tongues unknown
Following step by step I go
