You Are My Sanctuary

Folder: 
2006

Etching your name upon this tombstone of crimson,

Beneath the walls of my heart,

I know it's okay, I know you don't need reassurance,

Confront me, force me to believe you,

I'll bury myself alive on the inside.

I am nothing at all...

You are my sanctuary, within the darkness captivating the light,

You are the blanket that keeps me warm,

Will I have another chance tonight?

To bring you home...

I am nothing at all...

Another day spent lonely, this silence pushes me along,

What's left of me, you ask? Simple... Vacancy.

A past left out for them to see, sorry...

Could you ever forgive me?

I am nothing at all...

The mirror throws a reflection at me, one that isn't my own,

I'm sorry for the way things have to be, can't you see,

My love for you is endless,

A moment in life passes me, and I realize I'm the only one left here,

I bury myself alive on the inside.

I am nothing at all...

You are darkness killing the light, within the blanket that keeps me warm,

You are the shelter from the storm that leaves my heart ajar,

For you to step right in...

You are my sanctuary,

You are the one that keeps me here.

You chained my wrists down to the floor,

To let me live... So you could die and love it,

Will I have another chance tonight?

To bring you home...

I am nothing at all...

I am nothing but heartbreak.

I am nothing at all...

I am nothing but a mistake...

I'm once again etching your name upon this tombstone of crimson,

But it isn't over yet...

Each day is spent thinking of you,

I remember a moment when our love was endless,

A day in which your heart was mine...

When I was something to you, but now...

I am nothing at all...
