Rushing and running through a busy day Good will and laughter thoughout the way Everyone loves her bright charming smile how she fiercely keeps it strong all the while All day far away from her humble abode Not till the dead of night she returns to a room so cold Its not the busy day that keeps her from this room None know she's running from a four by four tomb The keys rattle as she trembles, placing them in the lock Bracing herself as she musters up all her courage in stock Fatigue suddenly overcomes her body while she removes the mask engraved with the smile She tosses it on the floor with all the others Till the next day she'll use one of its brothers She sits in solitude, in darkness, waiting for them Having memorized the routine in this forgotten asylum Help her help her, her pride all vanished The demons attack, they'll never be banished They scratch and claw on her very soul She didnt know why she paid such a toll They beat her, break her as they feed off her will They never slow down, even long after having their fill Left limp on the floor numb and alone Nothing ever changes as if written in stone All she can do now is feel the phantom anchor Of parts of her slipping every night in this mannor She stares at her veils spread across the floor A heavy weight on her chest dragging her down all the more You'ld think she attends every mascarade ball With all these visages she's left riddling the hall

Veils
Rushing and running through a busy day Good will and laughter thoughout the way Everyone loves her bright charming smile how she fiercely keeps it strong all the while All day far away from her humble abode Not till the dead of night she returns to a room so cold Its not the busy day that keeps her from this room None know she's running from a four by four tomb The keys rattle as she trembles, placing them in the lock Bracing herself as she musters up all her courage in stock Fatigue suddenly overcomes her body while she removes the mask engraved with the smile She tosses it on the floor with all the others Till the next day she'll use one of its brothers She sits in solitude, in darkness, waiting for them Having memorized the routine in this forgotten asylum Help her help her, her pride all vanished The demons attack, they'll never be banished They scratch and claw on her very soul She didnt know why she paid such a toll They beat her, break her as they feed off her will They never slow down, even long after having their fill Left limp on the floor numb and alone Nothing ever changes as if written in stone All she can do now is feel the phantom anchor Of parts of her slipping every night in this mannor She stares at her veils spread across the floor A heavy weight on her chest dragging her down all the more You'ld think she attends every mascarade ball With all these visages she's left riddling the hall
