Piece it together, take it apart The beginning and ending, the stop and the start The city is breathing through power lines And the babies are teething but can't read the signs They're too young to know All the things that they said One day they'll be living And the next they'll be dead But if that sounds too morbid, Too finite and macabre Let's stop second-guessing And figure out who we are, we are, we are From the tops of the trees (trees) From our throats we will scream We will weaken their knees We will say what we mean Tonight, tonight the veil comes down Yeah, tonight the veil comes Our words are weaving, languages intertwine From the tips of our tongues To the back of our spines The city is teething, glowing and white But its secrets are dirty And we'll expose them tonight tonight all right From the tops of the trees From our throats we will scream We will weaken their knees We will say what we mean Tonight, tonight the veil comes down Yeah, tonight the veil comes down Yeah, tonight the veil comes down Tonight the veil comes The veil comes down Tonight, tonight the veil comes down Tonight the veil comes down Tonight the veil comes down Tonight the veil comes down Yeah, tonight the veil comes down Tonight the veil comes down
