Sanctuary
I serve as an example
Of the downfall of man
To all the cheats
The liars and thieves
This is your sanctuary
My lack of compassion
Is proof of the creature
That I have become
This case of apathy
Will prove to be
The facade that I bring
There is no love lost
And an explanation will only show
How much my heart will cost
So break these chains
That serve as the pain
I have caused you your whole life
There is no hope
And no time to cope
This ecstasy is short lived
In a time that my mistakes are hid
It’s a weight we carry
And you can see right through me
And the lies that I tend to be
Just listen closely
This is sanctuary
