Veneer

Some of them are gone And some will remain Far beyond the edges Of your dreams And do you understand That living Is not what it seems Don't hold out much hope When you're in the thick Of it all For once it's not me That can feel it Nothing at all Lean on my shoulder And say nothing at all I'm looking backwards Flicking though myself Like I'm someone else And you in that great divide Sparring with your pride No one can decide for you If he was the final straw You said you wanted more Than money ever gave to you Where do we go from here The climb, or a thin veneer A thin veneer A thin veneer A thin veneer
