When it’s dark out, when it’s cold out
That’s when it begins to close in on me
I have to have you, here to cling to
And to hold me down so I don’t freak
What I say here, when I stay here
Is that I need my sanctuary
Sanctuary. Sanctuary.
First they defeat you, then they eat you
And there’s nothing left, no skin it’s just bones
Oh they mock me, then they shock me
But they see that I am always exposed
I need some cover from a lover
Which is you and all your sanctuary
Sanctuary. Sanctuary.
I want to come out, look at the sun
Want to walk a bit, try to have fun
But dilemmas I cannot escape
So it’s back inside my sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
I let my walls down, then I fall down
It seems to happen to me time after time
Then they stand there, and they laugh there
I feel another bout on the rise
First the fever, then the shakes
Then a quake, a break from my sanctuary
Sanctuary. Sanctuary.
I want to come out, look at the sun
Want to walk a bit, try to have fun
But dilemmas I cannot escape
So it’s back inside my sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
I wanna come out (sanctuary!)
I wanna walk around (sanctuary!)
I wanna come out (sanctuary!)
I wanna go outside (sanctuary!)
Sanctuary
Sanctuary
Sanctuary
