Veil Over the Fields

Intro

Ohh

Mm-hmm

God help me

Verse 1

The faces on my street forgot their names

They nod at me with eyes like frozen coal

I counted twelve and none of them could blink

Something got inside them

Took the warmth out slow

They stand in rows and hum the same dull tone

Pre-Chorus

And I can tell

Yeah I can tell

A veil got thrown across the fields I know

Chorus

Break me out

Break me out

I want the world I used to know

Break me out

Break me out

Before the cold takes what I hold

God help me

Post-Chorus

Na na na

Na na na

Get me out

Verse 2

They gather close when I try to leave

Their hands all move as one

A hive of borrowed smiles

I scream into the street and nobody turns

My own voice comes back wrong

It sounds like someone else

Pleading with the ones I loved

Pre-Chorus

And I can tell

Yeah I can tell

A veil got thrown across the fields I know

Chorus

Break me out

Break me out

I want the world I used to know

Break me out

Break me out

Before the cold takes what I hold

God help me

Post-Chorus

Na na na

Na na na

Get me out

Bridge

Sold

Every last one sold

Sold

For a quiet kind of gold

I run

I run

I run and the road just folds

Breakdown

Not the same

Not the same

Black and cold

Black and cold

Not the same

Not the same

Let me go

Let me go

Chorus

Break me out

Break me out

I want the world I used to know

Break me out

Break me out

Before the cold takes what I hold

God help me

Post-Chorus

Na na na

Na na na

Get me out

Get me out
