Sanctuary 04:00
lyrics

Sitting waiting watching out the window While he argues with the voices in his head I don't think he'd ever go outside to face the world If he listened to a single word they said Today he couldn't be his own companion Or even walk a mile in his own shoes Wrapped up with four familiar walls around him Stuck inside those sanctuary blues He's got both hands wrapped around a bottle And he can't convince himself to put it down The angel on his shoulder is now the devil in his mind This afternoon he wants to watch them drown Today he couldn't be his own companion Or even walk a mile in his own shoes Wrapped up with four familiar walls around him Stuck inside those sanctuary blues He'll put himself on trial in the morning And when the judge's verdict's handed down He'll finally take a little bit of his freedom And make it almost all the way to town Today he couldn't be his own companion Or even walk a mile in his own shoes Wrapped up with four familiar walls around him Stuck inside those sanctuary blues

The things in this life that are certain Are taxes and death and stains on your shirt The mirror won't give you the answers So don't stand and stare Get out of bed where your dreams sink and drown Get out of your head take a good look around Life is like an amusement park Things get strange when it gets dark The games are all rigged so you might as well go for a ride You try and you try and you try You win some, you lose some, you fail... And you walk empty streets that are not without danger Since back home you felt like a stranger You'll never be heard if you don't make a sound Or hide over where you can't bear to be found Life is like an amusement park Things get strange when it gets dark The games are all rigged so you might as well go for a ride Now you walk through the valley Between pleasure and pain You smile when the wind blows And all you can do is just laugh at the rain You wander around the deserted dark ground Where mysteries go to come slowly unwound Life is like an amusement park Things get strange when it gets dark The games are all rigged so you might as well go for a ride

"Fuck you, I know where I'm going to." She said to me "I even wrote you a letter, that I don't care if you read I've said it over and over, for some reason you never hear. You've made my options seem simple then. I'll disappear." I said just bring me a whisky, neat as hell You've made this whole situation a mess as well Over the line of reason, you tripped and fell Every last bit of my love could not compel you I told her I know that letter is full of lies Some of my friends say they've seen you with other guys So I don't care that you're leaving, just close the door You can't murder my heart anymore Come on and bring me a whisky, neat as hell You've made this whole situation a mess as well Over the line of reason, you tripped and fell Every last bit of my love could not compel you It seems my accusations didn't work this time It had just been an hour since she seemed fine I only swung as a warning since it was her birthday Or else I'd give her all my love in the worst way I need a whisky, neat as hell She's made this whole situation a mess as well Over the line of reason, she tripped and fell
