BEHIND THE VEIL
The lights are low, the door is closed
The fire burns hot, desire exposed
You change your mind, try to be kind
We pull apart, but share one heart
On the other side of midnight
A soul so frail
Behind the Veil
The sun is hot, the sky is blue
Watching her, watch him, watch you
We made our peace, cried with release
With one mistake there’s two heartbreaks
On the other side of midnight
A soul so frail
Behind the Veil
With vision blurred, our fears ignored
Put down the pen, pick up the sword
We ran the race, too fast too late
There’s no more time, to dodge our fate

When it seems like you’re swimming upstream and the world is against you…
IF I HAD WINGS
When we go down, down in flames
We will only have ourselves to blame
There’s no rule that we haven’t bent
Confess your sins, it’s time to repent
If I had wings I’d fly away to paradise
There’s nothing I would not do or sacrifice
Run from folly and love’s regret
Hide your shame and karmic debt
Things we do in self defense
Things that don’t make any sense
If I had wings I’d fly away to paradise
There’s nothing I would not do or sacrifice
Fractured logic but it sells
Like a wicked witch’s evil spell
Those empty promises are a shell
To lure us down the road to hell
