"lift the veil, it's not medicine
and my heart fails, time and time again"
I could be wrong, but I really took this to mean a drug addiction (as well as other self injurious behaviors) and telling him to 'lift the veil' and that this isn't medicine to make someone get better, it's a drug that kills. This seems to match the rest of the song too, talking about using drugs as a distraction to free someone from pain and to 'be at sin'
