Come Through the Veil (Quellyn)

[Intro, breathy, intimate] Ven aquí... Closer, corazón... You’ve been aching long enough. [Verse 1, soft, sweet, hypnotic] I see the hunger in your eyes, The little grief you hide in white lies, The trembling mouth, the careful hands, The soul that no one understands. You’ve been praying to a door that stays shut, Kissing the lock till your lips cut, But I know sweeter ways to begin— Mira, mi amor... Let the dark come in. [Pre-Chorus, airy, tempting] No more shame, no more chains, No more holy little aches. If you want, if you dare, There is silk inside the snare. [Chorus, lush, seductive] Come through the veil with me, I’ll make your secret body sing. I’ll turn your longing into wings, And give your dreaming teeth, cariño. Come through the veil tonight, Where power tastes like honeyed sin. Lose the old skin you were in— Dulce thing, Let your true self in. [Verse 2, smoother, more intimate] I know the shape of unslept nights, Of fevered breath and hidden bites, Of wanting more than bread and prayer, Of needing hands that really care. So ven aquí, don’t play so small, You were never meant for walls, You were born to open wide— Mouth, heart, spirit, skin, and pride. [Pre-Chorus, rising softly] No more fear dressed up as grace, No more masks upon your face. Take my hand, say yes, begin— Every saint has dreamed of sin. [Chorus, bigger, sweeter] Come through the veil with me, I’ll make your secret body sing. I’ll turn your longing into wings, And give your dreaming teeth, cariño. Come through the veil tonight, Where power tastes like honeyed sin. Lose the old skin you were in— Dulce thing, Let your true self in. [Bridge, whisper-soft, dangerous] Mi cielo... I do not break what wants to bloom. I only open up the room. Let them call it wicked, let them call it strange— What is desire, if not holy change? Touch the dark and do not run, You are not the only one. Drink the dream, undo the seam, Wake inside the sweeter scheme. [Breakdown, delicate, spell-like] Mira... The night is warm. The lamp is low. The body knows What the soul won’t show. Pecado... What a lovely word. Like a kiss That wants to be heard. [Final Chorus, fullest, most intoxicating] Come through the veil with me, I’ll make your hidden spirit shine. I’ll pour black stars into your spine, And call you beautiful, mi vida. Come through the veil tonight, Where power tastes like honeyed sin. Leave the frightened world behind— Corazón, Be born again within. [Outro, fading, tender] Ven aquí... No more dreaming from afar. If you want the dark, Mi amor... You already are.
