The Veil

(There'll be food and drink and moonlight dancing)
 (If you could see to it somehow)
 (Could you lend your place or a Hotel room now?)
 Now
 Miss perfect was powderin' her nose
 In a bathroom stall with a pile of chemicals
 Gettin' suited
 I was daydreaming about my music
 Cleaning forbidden fruit out my teeth with a toothpick
 The masqueraders are passing out party favors
 And playing games that appeal to our darker nature
 Like William Tell with a loaded glock
 If you're not a short shot you'll decorate their flesh with red polka dots
 Holly stepped out the restroom with toilet paper stuck to her stilettos, holdin' a golden glow
 If all the king's men were riddled with bullet holes she'd be the bulimic bell of the ball that stole the show
 But tragedy's a photo op, so strike a pose
 With the seven headed beast
 She's a sight to behold
 My Babylonian beauty
 Burgoeis(?)
 Domineering
 Designer wearing diamond earings
 Find your bearings
 (Just want to mention in passing)
 I just wanna say
 (There'll be food and drink and moonlight dancing)
 It's gunna be great
 (If you could see to it somehow)
 If you could see to it
 (Could you lend your place or a Hotel room now?)
 Now
 The sky Darkened
 But no one seemed to notice
 Fighter planes blocking out the sun like locusts
 It's all showbiz
 Glamour and glitz
 Dafan play off of broadway and camera tricks
 Little miss bites her lower lip
 Wine trickles down her chin
 I'm sittin' in a corner taking notes with a fountain pen
 Inside looking out
 Outside looking in
 Sing her praise from a wrinkled page in a book of hymns
 And when the moon turns blood red
 And love is somethin' terrible and beautiful that's hangin' by a thread
 You don't know if it's the end or a new beginnin'
 But know for sure there's somethin' fundamentally flawed with the life that you've been livin'
 I wasn't there for the crucifixion
 We tightrope walk the thin line between truth and superstition
 If you don't know you'll know real soon
 The sacred and profane entombed in a hotel room now listen
 (Just want to mention in passing)
 I just wanna say
 (There'll be food and drink and moonlight dancing)
 It's gunna be great
 (If you could see to it somehow)
 If you could see to it
 (Could you lend your place or a Hotel room now?)
 Now
 I've been so lost
 Kicked while I was down
 Barely had the strength to pull my sickly frame off the ground
 I've been found out, a fraud a phony
 Exposed
 Felt the world breathe and taken beyond my threshold for pain
 Maintain
 Sang in the rain
 I'm the only one to blame for not stakin' my claim
 I have fallen so far from grace
 Built, destroyed, and searched for new world's that would help me to fill the void
 I am one zero
 I killed the noise
 I'm redrum
 The rhythm section with no exception
 The real McCoy
 Searching for the source
 The dream merchant in the sky
 The most high
 The pen allows the certain sin of pride
 The serpent in the skies lurk around the city streets
 I pulled the curtains back and saw Jehovah speakin' with the beast
 Weigh my soul, Weigh my organic metronome
 Place it on a scale
 Help me see beyond the
 Veil
