Veil of Fear

Will control take the nothing of me
If I give it everything back
Will blood make me blinded
If I know nothing but the red veil

Maybe the calling is a wind in my ear
Maybe the outreach of that hand is just a stranger
But I've been told that denial is disobedience
So where am I to run now

Just so I know, for my own distaste of good
How is it I show up on your doorstep
Without slipping on black ice, to claim my fault
When I've never made the water solid before

Because we all have seen betrayal in its immediate form
When fear takes the physicality of the honoured ones
What are we supposed to jump into with our bounds of faith
These building are too high, my worry too big

And I hear voices, "dig deeper into your veins"
From words I read and hear and know
Sincerity takes full form in repetition and consistency
Just hold on to me and I'll hold onto the wheel
