lyrics

I'll feed my monsters to the strings
I'll give my shame up to the screen
If that is what it takes to keep on living
I'll drop my chains upon the floor
I'll leave them right outside the door
If that is what it takes to keep on giving

In my sanctuary the only time where I am fine and I don't have to bleed
or pay out in my wellness where I don't have to resist
I won't drown inside this town where everybody stays pissed

And I never get to breathe the minute that I catch my breath I always have to leave
The best I can hope for is that when there's a closed door I can be the king for a moment and then I've gotta be poor

In my sanctuary
Where what might not just could be
In my sanctuary
Where what might not just could be

Impervious to tainting my chapel is a painting an art a high a muse that gets me by
The plain and simple truth is what's real the rest's a lie
And I never wanna leave I've made my mind that making art is all I can conceive
The people try and talk but I can't seem to hear
Love this hate that it's ringing in my ears but

In my sanctuary
Where what might not just could be
In my sanctuary
Where what might not just could be
