The Veil of All My Fears

Sun rising on the hill
You were at the heel all night
Laughing at my jokes
That only you and I seem to get
I’m tired of the view through the veil of all my fears
I’m tired of the sound of you drowning in your tears
I think of how we lost ourselves along the way
Both gunned down by the ricochet
Foolish words that pride allows to win the day
Now strangers lost in grief
The hail of noise that life brings
Stone, I had to make my heart
To fill the space where you used to be
I’m tired of the view through the veil of all my fears
I’m tired of the sound of you drowning in your tears
I think of how we lost ourselves along the way
Both gunned down by the ricochet
Foolish words that pride allows to win the day
So much pain I can’t explain
But through it all, my love remains
I’m calling out, calling out
Calling out to you, though it’s in vain
I’m tired of the view through the veil of all my fears
I’m tired of the sound of you drowning in your tears
I think of how we lost ourselves along the way
Both gunned down by the ricochet
Foolish words that pride allows
