White Veil Grin

[Verse 1] It’s bigger than my heart It’s worse than a roof-edge fall Louder than a madman’s scream Quieter than a mouse in the wall Everyone wants it All his life, all his life Finds it, loses it Finds it again tonight The trail keeps picking me Through smoke and broken glass I swear I knew your footsteps Before they ever passed [Pre-Chorus] The one in the white veil With the evil grin I followed that shadow And I let it in It’s weightless in itself Too small to hold But it drags my name down And leaves me cold [Chorus] I’m talking about love Talking about love Finds me, breaks me Then calls me back I’m talking about love Talking about love Light as a lie And twice as black [Verse 2] It is easier Than your thoughts at dawn But remember how the soul Vomit-stormed and gone Palm to palm, then gone Teeth in the rain A sweet little wound That learns your name I chased that white veil Down a narrow lane It smiled in the dark And I wanted the pain [Pre-Chorus] The one in the white veil With the evil grin I followed that shadow And I let it in It’s weightless in itself Too small to hold But it drags my name down And leaves me cold [Chorus] I’m talking about love Talking about love Finds me, breaks me Then calls me back I’m talking about love Talking about love Light as a lie And twice as black [Bridge] Finds, loses, finds again That’s the game it plays A hand on the throat A sun through the haze If you hear it coming Don’t look too long It will wear your face And sing your song [Final Chorus] I’m talking about love Talking about love Finds me, breaks me Then calls me back I’m talking about love Talking about love Light as a lie And twice as black I’m talking about love Talking about love It’s weightless And it won’t let go
