Ludicra - Veils lyrics

rate me

Can you not escape the face?

That glowing haunted stare

Take the way that's caked with filth

A far less travelled path

Veils of bygone grief and death

To deflect the gaze

The sickening sight

There is no manner learned

From any teacher from any source

From any know-it-all

From any keeper, from any mouth

From anyone you know

Vials of promised sun

Sapped of life when splendor brims a thimble

Thirst to the point of madness

To each his own demise

(And) when the oldest soul

Pushes through your flesh

And paints your lids white

Submit to more than just the lure

Of the hands that held you tight

So stop everything an bring on nothing

Content to sleep

In filth or feathers

(So stop everything and bring on nothing)

A shiftless shapeless mass

What started out like any other

Was twisted into this

Part of the living, part of the dying

Though blood soaks through your soles

And gusts lash your skin

Continue on your way

To a place called home
