Behind the Veil

[Verse]
Mirror cracks split my face in two
Which one's me which one's the truth
A hollow laugh fills the empty room
[Chorus]
Behind the veil I’m screaming loud
But no one sees beneath the shroud
A painted grin a plastic crown
I’m breaking I’m breaking down
[Verse 2]
Footsteps echo in my hollow chest
The mask fits tight it steals my breath
Shadows creep where the light once slept
[Prechorus]
Smile’s a weapon smile’s a cage
Hides the sorrow hides the rage
[Chorus]
Behind the veil I’m screaming loud
But no one sees beneath the shroud
A painted grin a plastic crown
I’m breaking I’m breaking down
[Bridge]
Fingers claw at the paper walls
Tear ‘em down tear ‘em down
But they rebuild as the hammer falls
Tear ‘em down tear ‘em down
