Performed by Dad, Come Home!

lyrics

I can see your heart beating
Every time you're near
Hear the lies you keep repeating
Every time you're here
I can see right through
The things you do
I see right though
Beneath the thin veneer

You fill the room, so dramatic
Like you're on the stage
Eyes on you, it's automatic
But you’re in a cage
And I see right through
The act that's you
I see right though
Beneath the thin veneer

Thinking that we’re so opaque
Leading lives that we fake
But a thin veneer separates us all
The thin veneer so concealing
Close you eyes so revealing
A thin veneer separates us all

In the past you let me play
A fleeting cameo
In your world you let me hold
Your wild and fragile soul
But now you’re overdue
For someone who
Can reach right through
Into this thin veneer

Please let someone through
To the real you
And reach right through
Beneath the thin veneer
