Behind the Veil by Mariee Sioux Lyrics

How to forgive
Being pushed from the edge of the cliff?
How to forget
When giving was all I had left?
All time is deaf
Loss we’ve all heard to expect
Blanketed in fig leaf and death
Oh, the fleeting caress
The end merely a guess

Don’t know how to love my way through the fall
Don’t know how to rise with the weight of the gall
Don’t want to spit out your own tail
The vine flowers around endless scales
And children were peaking from behind the veil

How to forgive
Being pushed from the edge of the cliff?
How to forget
When giving was all I had left?
All time is deaf
Loss we’ve all heard to expect
