beyond the veil

a sudden shock

a sudden leap

floating then flying through the night

would i really want to leave forever?

mysteries grow few and far between

and in the end there's only one

the smallest clue would be a revelation

when i was young i longed to know

what lies beyond the veil

if my mind could only see it

but as i come closer it whispers

i don't want to tell

the things that it says in my dreams

excitement turns to fear and dread

something i prayed for once denied

so many times i thought this was what i wanted

now it's here

i don't know what to think

this isn't how i thought i'd feel

the decades now seem a fleeting moment

when i was young i longed to know

what lies beyond the veil

now i don't want to see it

as i come closer it whispers

i don't want to tell

the things that it says in my dreams

when i was young i longed to know

what lies beyond the veil

if my mind could only see it

but as i come closer it whispers

i don't want to tell

the things that it says

when i was young i longed to know

what lies beyond the veil

now i don't want to see it

as i come closer it whispers

i don't want to tell

the things that it says in my dreams

the things that i think i can see
