"Beneath The Veil" lyrics

Elation eludes me, always an empty shell within
Salvation can leave me open, but where do I begin?
I find that this heart grows colder, shallow breathing in
Damnation will cure the hunger crawling on your skin

I noticed 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 noticed 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 noticed 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
