Sanctuary

from Nemesis by A Flower in Disguise

/

lyrics

You can cry but no one’s coming
All the talk is numbing but the hiss of the whispering
Ooh twist the knife funny
I resist excitement to my disappointment
I’m your torment
Toxic the passion made it, lament
You can’t talk me okay
You can’t kiss the pain away
What’s okay?

When you’re alone
Don’t your heart race?
As I lay down to sleep
Asking is all I have but the questions fire back
Screaming blue, blue sky
Dead quiet, but the air greets you
Wading the night, setting the moon
Succumb, I can’t remember but I cried

A chance to clear the smoke
Move the veils but she won’t, she won’t
Living in absence the secrets chasing the shadows
This day is 100 years
Ago, I wait
Lived all my years in one day
Like yesterday
Castles in my tears
Hell, grave in my heart
This day is 100 years
This day is 100 years
Ago, I wait
Living in absence the secrets chasing the shadows

Ignite sanctuaries within
Lullabies begin crawling
If only days were longer
If only bones were stronger
So, h-h-hot
So, c-c-cold
I’ll have you reaching
Nowhere close
Falling through
Ignite sanctuaries within
Lullabies begin crawling
If only days were longer
If only bones were stronger
These words are light
But I hold them heavy, so tight
Don’t fear the night’s darkness
Come, come alive

I promise you
Sincere and true
I promise you to tear the sky down
Take the night bring the world to you
Take the light bring the world to you

When you’re alone
Don’t your heart race?
As I lay down to sleep
Asking is all I have but the questions fire back
Screaming blue, blue sky
Dead quiet, but the air greets you
Wading the night, setting the moon
Succumb, I appreciate you most when you’re not by my side
I can’t remember but I cried
I cried
Warping time & space
How many times I died?

Sincere and true I promise you to
Tear the sky down
Take the night bring the world to you
Take the light bring the world to you
This day is 100 years
Ago, I wait
Lived all my years in one day
Like yesterday
Frayed black like the edges of my memories
Blowing smoke of memories

Castles in my tears
Hell, grave in my heart
This day is 100 years
This day is 100 years
Ago, I wait
Living in absence the secrets chasing the shadows
No one’s coming
But the hiss of the whispering, numbing
