RED VEIL

“You never really knew me…”

⸻

Red dress moving through the night

Shadows dancing in neon light

Every step calculated, every glance precise

You see the smile… but not the price

Playing both sides, never standing still

Truth stays buried beneath my will

You think you’re close but you’re worlds away

I disappear before you can say my name

⸻

Under the red veil, I fade away

Truth and lies start to intertwine

You see a ghost in the light of day

But you’ll never know what’s really mine

Under the red veil, I walk alone

No attachments, no place to stay

But somewhere deep where the silence grows

I almost wanted to stay…

⸻

Mission first, yeah I play it clean

In and out like I’ve never been seen

Every move like a ghost in the code

While the world keeps losing control

Las Plagas, yeah I take what I need

No hesitation, no time to bleed

You call it cold but I call it right

I survive every single fight

But you keep showing up in my mind

Every time I’m crossing that line

I don’t look back — that’s how I survive

But something in me never fully died

⸻

Under the red veil, I fade away

Truth and lies start to intertwine

You see a ghost in the light of day

But you’ll never know what’s really mine

Under the red veil, I walk alone

No attachments, no place to stay

But somewhere deep where the silence grows

I almost wanted to stay…

They wore my face, tried to take my name

Turn me into something I could never claim

A shadow copy playing in my skin

But I don’t break — I erase, I win

Every lie buried under the truth

Every move calculated, no proof

You chase a ghost that you think you know

But I’m not the version they chose to show

Still see you standing in the crossfire light

Reaching for something just out of sight

And for a second I almost stay

Almost let everything slip away

But I pull back — it’s the life I chose

No loose ends, no one close

Still in the silence, I feel it remain…

A name I won’t say… but it stays the same

Under the red veil, I fade away

Every truth buried deep inside

You reach for me but I drift away

Just another shadow in your life

Under the red veil, I walk alone

Even when I want to stay

Through the lies, through the fire, through it all

I disappear… and fade away
