When was the last I felt

The purest of moments in rich detail

The colors have drained from my body

This darkness is clawing inside me

I'm standing here, numb and translucent, my greatest fear

And I can't even sense the touch of another, my soul has disappeared

Give me the strength to see

The man that I want to be

I'm hollow I'm empty

Unaware of my surroundings

My feet have never left this earth

But my conscious is floating away from me

Holding on to the hope of relieving hell

Help me feel the light that's beyond the veil

VEILED BRIGHTNESS

I'm hollow I'm empty

Unaware of my surroundings

My feet have never left this earth

But my conscious is floating away from me

Holding on to the hope of relieving hell

Help me feel the light that's beyond the veil

When was the last that I tried

To practice my preaching instead of digging a grave for what I believe in

A hypocrite, never self inflicting what my words permit

A heretic, with open views that I could never omit

Here I go again

Contradicting my thoughts with the words I've said

I'm hollow I'm empty

Unaware of my surroundings

My feet have never left this earth

But my conscious is floating away from me

Holding on to the hope of relieving hell

Help me feel the light that's beyond the veil
