Piercing the Veil

[Intro – whispered]
Don’t look too long…
It starts to look back

⸻

[Verse 1]
Thin line in the dark, I could almost feel it tear
Something in the silence said don’t go there
But I leaned just a little, let my breath fall through
Now I see everything I wasn’t meant to

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
Every shadow has a name
Every whisper knows my face
I didn’t call it out loud
But it came anyway

⸻

[Chorus]
I went and pierced the veil
Now it’s under my skin
Every truth I exhale
Pulls me deeper within

I don’t know where I end
Or where it begins
I touched something quiet
Now it won’t let me in

⸻

[Verse 2]
Light bends strange when you look too deep
Nothing stays where it’s supposed to be
Every answer comes wrapped in a lie
And I’m tracing shapes in between the lines

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it in my chest
Like a rhythm out of time
Something breathing in the dark
Right behind my mind

⸻

[Chorus]
I went and pierced the veil
Now it’s under my skin
Every truth I exhale
Pulls me deeper within

I don’t know where I end
Or where it begins
I touched something quiet
Now it won’t let me in

⸻

[Bridge – spoken/whispered]
You weren’t supposed to see that…
You weren’t supposed to know

But you stayed… didn’t you

⸻

[Final Chorus]
I went and pierced the veil
Now it’s living in me
Every truth that I chased
Took a piece I can’t see

I don’t reach for the light
It comes reaching for me
And the closer I get
The less I can leave
