Lyrics

I can’t see through your veneer
Translucent but never sheer
Your intentions hint at something clear
But for that shiny slick veneer

I know you’re sheltering your soul
You won’t let the secrets there unfold
Deep and dark, a hole within the whole
Still you keep sheltering your soul

Hollow laughter can’t disguise the grief
I can feel the pain if only brief
Won’t let anyone help with relief
Maybe you should stop and share your grief

You could just show us who you are
Something so small can go so far
Shadows and veneers and doors ajar
Why don’t you just show us who you are
