Veil Lyrics by Defy The Ocean

Elderflower

2016

You bow your head
Drop these smiles
You will bleed in guarded whispers
To reflections of your ghost
‘Cause deep down you know
That all hope is gone
I’m no dreamer
No longer warmed by your campfire tales
You watched me as I wept
Then tried to blind me with your light
No, I won’t chase the sun
Not while daybreak climbs through my window
I can’t bear to hear another lie
I’m taking off, I leave tonight
And I can’t look you in the eye
‘Cause I’ve spoken words like these a hundred times
One night I will find you
Where you sleep
Where you sleep
That night while you’re dreaming
I’ll make the leap
I’ll make the leap
No, I won’t chase the sun
Not while daybreak climbs through my window
I can’t bear to hear another lie
I’m taking off, I leave tonight
And I can’t look you in the eye
‘Cause I’ve spoken words like these a hundred times
Fear splits this withered shell
Veins spark and break the spell
First light on warming skin
Betrays the cold within
