[Verse 1] I left salt on the sill Black thread on my wrist Three knocks on the frame And the air went still Your name in the glass Like a bruise in the frost I held my breath, baby Till the hour got lost [Pre-Chorus] I can feel it now At the edge of the room Every little crack Fills up with a moon The floor starts to hum When I step too near Say my name once slow And the veil appears [Chorus] The veil is thin, thin, thin Come close, come close, come in The veil is thin, thin, thin I hear the old world spin (veil is thin) The veil is thin, thin, thin Touch and it opens in The veil is thin, thin, thin I let the dark begin [Verse 2] Candles lean low Like they know my fear Smoke draws a circle Then you disappear I saw your shadow On the back of my hand Cold like a promise I could not demand [Pre-Chorus] I can feel it now At the edge of the room Every little crack Fills up with a moon The floor starts to hum When I step too near Say my name once slow And the veil appears [Chorus] The veil is thin, thin, thin Come close, come close, come in The veil is thin, thin, thin I hear the old world spin (veil is thin) The veil is thin, thin, thin Touch and it opens in The veil is thin, thin, thin I let the dark begin [Bridge] If you want me Call me under If you want me Pull me under I can’t unsee What’s in the seam Half in this world Half in the dream [Chorus] The veil is thin, thin, thin Come close, come close, come in The veil is thin, thin, thin I hear the old world spin (veil is thin) The veil is thin, thin, thin Touch and it opens in The veil is thin, thin, thin I let the dark begin
