III
Miles away we could see the fractures
Through your skin
Its been worn so thin
And in the cracks we can make out words
There are pages worth
In the patterns
Over the years you've become
Such a shark
All the aces up your sleeves
Bow well you've played the part
I think I know because I read it in your bones
I know you breathe
Avalanches when your heart is in the attic
The veil
That you wear
Is not a barricade (Is not a barricade)
When you shoot your self a glance and say
Now I can hide my face
Your effective
Mirages
Never cover
Sometimes there's no way
To hold back the river
Does a shade haunt your chest
Like a mansion
Has it left your house abandoned
And frightened all your organs
I think I know because I read it in your bones
I know you breathe
Avalanches when your heart is in the attic
The veil
That you wear
Is not a barricade (Is not a barricade)
When you shoot your self a glance and say
Now I can hide my face
Your effective
Mirages
Never cover
Sometimes there's no way
To hold back the river
The veil
That you wear
Is not a barricade (Is not a barricade)
When you shoot your self a glance and say
Now I can hide my face
Your effective
Mirages
Never cover
Sometimes there's no way
To hold back the river
Your disguise has fainted
Collapsed and hit the ground
And all the pictures you've painted
Are coming down
Are coming down
