Behind a Veil

from Behind a Veil by Jess Klein

/

lyrics

Has your world fallen apart
Or is this your work of art
Are you scrambling on your knees
Or is there something down there you should see

When you can’t run away no more
Is there still one final door
Which hides an unseen room
Where the devil and his dogs
Or the angels wait for you

Chorus:
The beauty lives behind a veil
In every trick you try and every trial you fail
When you pray to find a way and you exhale
The beauty lives behind a veil

Like the child you never were
Are you shaking and unsure
How to do this strange new dance
Where fallin’ on your face
Means giving it a chance

Chorus

And you step up to that door
And your legs shake even more…
