No one is surprised to see nothing
So I press pause on the ticking seconds
And pull back the gossamer veil
I used to believe, I was so certain
I believed in big things, great things
Breaking easily, all hope is threatened
I know the truth, most dreams fail
I might be lost, unable to be saved
Please don't abandon me
I am unable to be redeemed
But I still need love
I need the truth and know
Life is both more and far less
Than we want or than we need
All expectations go beyond the pale
Of what we should imagine
Much less expect to happen
Hope hides behind the curtain
Revealing so so much
That I still can't see
Behind the veil
