The Man in These Clothes
Sanctuary Rig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The man in these clothes would say I've broken every rule
I've stolen your love and played you for a fool
And you in the shadow, you can't face another dawn
I've broken my promise and left you so alone

We didn't know the way it would go when our two became one
So far away, that September day in the sun
The man in these clothes has seen the pleasure and the pain
A cold empty vessel and the shell is what remains
And you in your rage, you say you want to break my bones
A love torn and tainted for which the body now atones

So far to fall, too crippled to crawl, we were flying so high
Then we discover the water of love has run dry

The man in these clothes can see that you're hurting
The man in these clothes still cares
The man in these clothes is listening and learning
You're always a part of the man in these clothes

The man in these clothes can still remember you in white
Your smile and your whisper as you stepped into the light




Our future, our fortune was impossible to tell
Now the man in these clothes can only wish you well

Throwing a grenade and letting the guy know where you were probably made him think you were not going to use that stairway. I mean, why would someone trying to sneak make a huge sound? You might not think it, but it was obvious what you were trying to do.

Philipp

Hey, do you plan on playing with other content creators in the future like in a duo or trio, I would love to see something like that

H&P Customs

Hay shots serious question, how much time does it actually take you to make a season as far as hours go? I just started playing this game after years of watching you and I have found this game requires a massive amount of time.
