The spirit rises and separates from skin
Pulls itself back, and reveals void within
The void is the reason for forgotten days
The look on her face when her love begins to fade

Rip away the veil of perfection
Rip apart the lie
Rip away the veil of protection
Rip apart the lie

Her life was lustrous open and free
Yet you could never be bothered to see
The realization of what came to pass
Your careless words and broken glass

The lies will haunt you
It burns and it stings
Nip at your heels
Rip out your wings
And here in the corner of your private hell
The spreading discolor
Where from grace she fell

The spirit then rises and separates from skin
Pulls itself back, and reveals void within

In the throes of rejection
Comes the listless addiction

Rip away the veil of perfection
Rip apart the lie
Rip away the veil of protection
Rip apart the lie

Rip away the veil of perfection
Rip apart the lie
Rip away the veil of protection
Rip apart the lie

A search for acceptance
Overwhelms your reason
To taste all her fruits
And drink all her wine

The heart is a maze
That rarely ever ends
It spins and it circles
It twists and entwines

Hope is surrender
And lust is a beast
Desire is careless
But forgiveness is peace

The spirit then rises and separates from skin
Pulls itself back, and reveals void within

Ripping away the veil of perfection
Ripping apart the lie
Ripping away the veil of protection
Ripping apart the life

Ripping away the veneer of perfection
Ripping apart the lie
Ripping away the veil of protection
Ripping apart the life
