Sanctuary
I'm going to buy a band of silver and diamonds
Put it on my left hand
I'm going to tell the world a lie to keep them from my body
My body was never mine
I'm dragging shackles down the road to my lover
His heart is heavy and his hands behind his back
Ankles flesh and bone bearing teeth like a lion
I'm hiding, he's hiding the pain deep inside
Blessed are the meek who inherit the Earth
But the pain runs deep, you have taught me what I'm worth
The gnashing of teeth and the tearing of clothes
For the blood of his daughter
You lust for me and I give you the attention
I don't want no trouble, please move along
And they've gouged out their eyes and they've cut off their hands
But I still cannot find my sanctuary
Put it on my left hand
I'm going to tell the world a lie to keep them from my body
My body was never mine
I'm dragging shackles down the road to my lover
His heart is heavy and his hands behind his back
Ankles flesh and bone bearing teeth like a lion
I'm hiding, he's hiding the pain deep inside
Blessed are the meek who inherit the Earth
But the pain runs deep, you have taught me what I'm worth
The gnashing of teeth and the tearing of clothes
For the blood of his daughter
You lust for me and I give you the attention
I don't want no trouble, please move along
And they've gouged out their eyes and they've cut off their hands
But I still cannot find my sanctuary
