Veiled

Leah Andreone Veiled Lyrics
1.It's Alright It's Ok

Broken doll baby
And she says that life's a waste
It doesn't have to be that way

Dad threw away her mom
Her mom gave up his name
Crucified by their words
Nailed by shame

She stares into the sun
Self-inflicted pain
She sees that they're blind
Why does she take all the blame

The rhyme has changed compulsion rules
Mary's little lambs are now raised by wolves
A voyeur with wings flashes a cure
She knows forbidden things they have a lovely lure

It's alright it's ok
Welcome to this life
Killin' time
Just watchin' the grass grow

It's alright it's ok
Welcome to this life
Don't worry sweet baby
Cuz it's over before you know

Persecuted she's not normal
I envy her strange ways
Seven deadly sins
Seize the hour seize the day

Her ideas need expression
Her wounds never bleed
Her beauty lives in my eyes
Too bad she can't see

She doesn't try i watch her spirits die
But giving up the ghost would feel so good
A voyeur with wings flashes a cure
She knows forbidden things they have a lovely lure

It's alright it's ok
Welcome to this life
Killin' time
Just watchin' the grass grow

It's alright it's ok
Welcome to this life
Don't worry sweet baby
Cuz it's over

Chorus 2x

Crumbling camelot idle teardrops
Cloudy diamonds freebase funhouse
Expecting to fly but she's just standing still
Every time she gets it up she just can't close the deal

So she gives herself another way out
Walks her dog for the 50th time and
Files her nails till they bleed and she cries now
She doesn't have to try


2.Happy Birthday

Written:leah andreone and rick neigher

And happy birthday to you...

You're nice and warm the water's deep
I'm kickin' while you sleep
Muffled words i don't understand
But it sounds like talk is cheap
You're pushing hard it's cramped in here
Is this what warps my head
The lighting's red the pressure's high
Is it birth or is it death

Made in your image are you prepared
You are what you conceive
You're my first love i know you inside out
And what you already ate i'll eat

Naked and lonely
Will somebody hold me
The deed is done
Let's start day one
You're stuck with me

Ahhhh happy birthday 2x

This bloody maze is puzzling me
I can't find my way out
Should i turn back is it too late
Do second thoughts count

If i can't speak who'll speak for me
Can't even stand on my own two feet
I'm not afraid to ask will you hold my hand
Leaving here's kind of bittersweet

Naked and lonely
Will somebody hold me
The deed is done
Let's start day one
You're stuck with me

Ahhhh happy birthday 2x

Finally i'm safe home sweet home
Flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone
So many people so much love
Hip hip hip hooray i'll never be alone

Noah's ark didn't show up here
Holy water i guess i'm blessed
What's the buzz why the sweat
What's the hold up why the mess

Soon i'm yours and you're all mine
I hope i'm all you planned
Deliver me believe in me
Salvation's in your hands

Chorus


3.Mother Tongue

Written:leah andreone and rick neigher

Mother tongue
I speak that language
There are no words
But there is meaning
My secret love song
My eyes swell
I'm free

Mother tongue
Never betrayed me
Inhale your life
One more breath
I'm dancing
Lacking wings still
I can fly from you

I could lose everything
Surrendering to you
Like praying to a god above
Who doesn't even want to know you

Mother tongue
Today i curse you
Where's my voice
Have i lost my virtue
How much more can i sacrifice for you

I could lose everything
Surrendering to you
Like praying to a god
Who doesn't even want to know you

Down on my knees for you
Your hands crawling through my hair
I forgot to be cautious here
Finally i cry i cry

I could lose everything
Surrendering to you
Like praying to a god
Who doesn't even want to know you...


4.You Make Me Remember

Written:leah andreone and rick neigher

Whispering you stare
Wanting you don't care
Kiss me make me cry
How did i wind up here

Wishing you were dead
Why are you in my bed
Ignore what's jeopardized
It's only me denied

Ohh i'm dizzy hazy
Ohh can someone save me
Ohh hypnotize me
Anesthetize the pain

You speak my name i hear nothing
You share your dreams i see nothing
Unconscious suicide aren't you gone yet
You make me remember things i want to forget

Walk in the park fresh air
I shoot my drink you're still here
Inside a child asks why
Who used to bring me here

Ohh i'm dizzy hazy
Ohh can someone save me
Ohh hypnotize me
Anesthetize the pain

You speak my name i hear nothing
You share your dreams i see nothing
Unconscious suicide aren't you gone yet
You make me remember

You touch my face i feel nothing
You taste my lips i give nothing
This starving soul must be fed
You make me remember things i want to forget

Yes i do need to feel love
And i used yours like a glove
But the memories come flooding back
All i want to do is paint it black

This starving soul must be fed
You make me remember
You speak my name i hear nothing
You share your dreams i see nothing
Unconscious suicide aren't you gone yet

You make me remember things i want
You make me remember things i need
You make me remember things i want to forget


5.Who Are They To Say

Written:leah andreone and rick neigher

Feels good
To wonder what i'm doing here
Feels right
Getting smashed with god all night

Relax
Exploit my mind
To each his own king
Within his own tribe

Define for me free at last
We are history
They don't want no human contrast

They should know
Jekyll shouldn't have to hyde
Who are you - who am i

Who said i can't alter my mind
Who said the puzzle needs each piece
Who said say your seven hail marys
And who are they to say

You keep invading me with your
Self-righteous camouflage uniform
Can't you let me be
Who i want to be
If i had gills i'd fly
You can't tell me what's right

If i lose my mind
I wonder what i'd gain tonight
A lunatic
Just livin' a real life

Stimulate me try to find me
Who would call it sin
Every tom dick harry

Who said absence makes the heart grow fonder
Who said smiling means i'm happy
Who said i can't scream for mutiny
And who are they to say
Who are they to say

Chorus


6.Problem Child

Written:leah andreone and rick neigher

Why won't you pay attention
Pray every night i'll make you happy
If i'm real bad will you punish me
The contact hurts but at least you're touching me
Can't you see can't you read please read me please

Hard to believe i'm your flesh and blood
Watch your mistakes swimming down my face
Jump up and down and i'll even fall
To your feet you're stepping on me
You're hurting me you don't notice me you're hurting me

I'm screaming i'm breaking i'm grieving get angry
I'm rebelling i'm trying i'm losing be proud of me
I'm sickening i'm learning please notice me i'm your baby
Am i all you hoped that i would be

Must be no boundaries guess no one cares
What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine to get
I'll make you listen until you're blue
The contact hurts but at least i'm touching you

I'm raping i'm craving i'm begging get angry
I'm weakening i'm regretting i'm sorry be proud of me
I'm invisible i'm multiplying
I'm pleading i'm killing
Am i all you hoped that i would be

La la's

I'm crippling i'm sobbing i'm degrading
I know you want me
I'm deprecating i'm demoralizing
I'm sad humiliating i'm empty
I'm destroying i'm guilty i'm ashamed
I'm wrong i know i'm wrong

Why won't you pay attention
Hung from a rope then you'll know me


7.Come Sunday Morning

Written:leah andreone and rick neigher

Charming you's a challenge
You've got these strings attached like bondage
For you i'll bring the holy house down
We'll get some peace and help our sorrows drown
Lay at the altar with me
Let's live deviantly
Maybe through you i can find god

Don't tell me that you love me
It seems so final that you love me
Even the blind see
It looks better when there's mystery
Can't lay my hands on you
It'd be selfish it's true
Cuz healing you could heal me too

Wrong is right come sunday morning
We'll see the light come sunday morning
Forgive ourselves come sunday morning
Sunday sunday

Invade my space invade my mind
Your intervention is so divine
Daddy i'm diggin' on your dark side
No more fingerprints on you that aren't mine
Can you de-program me
Help i need somebody
Everything i see i do i taste is part of you

Wrong is right come sunday morning
We'll see the light come sunday morning
Forgive ourselves come sunday morning
Sunday sunday

The sky is falling mayday mayday
My idle hands are getting weak
My mind's ignoring what they're saying
No one's perfect seven days a week

Wrong is right come sunday morning
We'll see the light come sunday morning
Forgive ourselves come sunday morning
Sunday sunday
Sunday sunday


8.Kiss Me Goodbye

Written:leah andreone and rick neigher

Your arms
Hold me aimlessly
I can feel you
Letting me go

Don't sing me a lullaby
Don't pretend to care
Finish up
And get out of here
Indulge yourself

Kiss me goodbye judas
Mangled songs words are strained
Your picture's gone i'm lost in the frame
Kiss me goodbye
I believed now i'm betrayed
The kiss is vital before you walk away

One two three four
You stab i plead for more
Don't you see
I'm still alive

Your sword is double-edged
Your stalling makes it worse
I can't take this
Please push it deeper deeper deeper

Kiss me goodbye judas
Mangled songs words are strained
Your picture's gone i'm lost in the frame
Kiss me goodbye
I believed now i'm betrayed
The kiss is vital before you walk away

Give in to your filth
You've always made love to yourself
Deflower my memories and
I'll memorize your last breath

Ignore the weight i've lost
Those are stars you see in my eyes
You're flattered
Were you always this blind

Get your business done
Show me your lowest low
Toxic waste
Isn't this fun
Prey on this
Well i'll be damned

Kiss be goodbye judas
The dance is done so let it rain
Take your faces take your shame
Kiss me goodbye
I believed now i'm betrayed
The kiss is vital before you walk away
I believed now i'm betrayed
The kiss is vital before you walk away
I believed


9.Hell To Pay

Written:leah andreone, david andreone, and rick neigher

If i didn't know your game
Would you lay me down and lie about your name
If things didn't go your way
Would you tell the lawyers you were just playing

If there were no hell to pay
I wonder would you still need a god

If the rich were weak
Would you fight for their lives
Without a marriage would you give up your wife
If you saw me coming would you take another route
In your house does difference stay out

If there were no hell to pay
I wonder would you still need a god
If there were no hell to pay
I wonder would you still need a god

Do you dig for gold
Would you sell your soul
What should we know
Who are you when you're alone

If my eyes were closed
Would you launch your stones
What should we know
Who are you when you are all alone

With the cameras off
Would you beat him till he's dead
If you found the cure
Would you make us beg

If no one had to work
Would you still get out of bed
If the bullet was for me
Would you take it in the head

If there were no hell to pay
I wonder would you still need a god
If there were no hell to pay
I wonder would you still need a god

Chorus

If i believed in you and you believed in me
Would you still need a god
If no one cared would you sleep all day
Would you still need a god
If my eyes were closed would you launch your stones
Would you still need a god
With the cameras off would you beat him dead
Would you still need a god


10.Will You Still Love Me

Written:leah andreone and rick neigher

Dying to scream
So i hide and sing
A disillusioned voyeur
Studying the sane

God keeps whispering
In the devil's ear
Hallelujah
Things are getting weird

I'm nakedly perverted
Possessive and free
I wanna run away
But i never wanna leave

I got an ax to grind
And a mouth to match
You better hear me out
Don't let me crash

The blues in my eyes
Take me swimming
I try to dance
The floor keeps moving
My swollen lips
The words aren't forming
The curtain's coming down

Will you still love me tomorrow
When you find out who i am today
Will you know my name tomorrow
When you hear the things i have to say
Will you still love me tomorrow

I'm black i'm white
I'm the human race
Call me eve
How's the apple taste
In a perfect world
I'd find my place
Try to change me
What a fucked up waste

My body's cold
The whispers chill me
Expose myself
Am i still pretty
Are you so flawless
Or is it gutless
That you can't accept me

Will you still love me tomorrow
When you find out who i am today
Will you know my name tomorrow
When you hear the things i have to say

Will you still love me tomorrow
When you find out who i am today
Will you know my name tomorrow
When you hear the things i have to say

Talking it into the ground
Do you have the faith knowing what you've found
What others hide i'm laying it down
Conformity is our tragedy

The blues in my eyes
Take me swimming
I try to dance
The floor keeps moving
My swollen lips
The words aren't forming
The curtain's coming down

Will you still love me tomorrow
When you find out who i am today
Will you know my name tomorrow
When you hear the things i have to say
Will you still love me tomorrow
When you find out who i am today
Will you know my name
When you hear the things you hear the things
You're higher
Will you will you
Will you know my name


11.Imagining You

Written:leah andreone and rick neigher

What would morning taste like with you
Would a shower feel the same with you
Did you ever think what loving me could mean
When you're all alone do you imagine me

Would i smell the same after i hugged you
If i slept in your arms could you sleep too
Did you ever think what loving me could mean
When you're all alone do you imagine me

Fingers memorizing my skin
I lose myself so your search can begin
Contemplating what you might do
When i'm all alone i'm imagining you

If i touched you here would you get the butterflies
Could i see your chills would you show me how you cry
Did you ever think what loving me could mean
When you're all alone do you imagine me

I can't breathe you took my breath away
Breathing you'd be worth my last days
Did you ever think what loving me could mean
When you're all alone do you imagine me
La la la
La la la
La la la
Contemplating what you might do
When i'm all alone i'm imagining you
