lyrics

VERONICA:part of us is not bothered and part of tries my darling ive seen many sides of you. cold as in frozen hot as in boiling all these situations your spoiling me with. devil may take me b4 you break me my darling ive seen our demise, you looked into deeply smiled so sweetly said my only fear is you are right.so i went to war to forget what i saw on a horrible evening. yeah i shipped off feeling the loss burning as if i was just returning. and i fought in the battles, heard the rattles of guns, prayed for no sons of mine. but at least i dont see her no more i just see the dying.years melt away go face to face change color schemes breath lie awake. find tangible dreams means to an end pretend were not pretending. not notice the plot has fallen apart and hope, hope lies in some others eyes never admit to the lie of the land your slipping away like that scoth in your hand.
oh veronica the sails the pails of water are empty oh veronica my nails have not grown back or anything oh veronica im fine but the next day i am not fine oh veronica
heard she kept drinking and climbing up ladders i watched from a distance as she buried my sucessor find im still staring at sterile old rivers and wondering what is forgiveness and if i knew got rid of that taint would i still have the soul of a horse dead at the gate. cursin those who denied theres something wrong with the bride burning up there on the altar. forever holding their peace forever condemning me oh veronica the sails the pails of water are empty oh veronica my nails have not grown back or anything oh veronica im fine but the next day i am not fine
oh veronica your name still gets played in my head oh veronica my lamest leg would still dance for you oh veronica im saved and the next day i am not saved oh veronica.
