Sanctuary
Violent New Breed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If it'd make you happy
My every bone I'd break
Throw myself
To the fire
To shield you from the flames
Your every pill I'd take
While you're coursing through my
Viens
I, I, always have darkness in tow
You, you, make the darkness feel like home
Two souls inhabit one body
The closest I'll ever be to holy
The closest, the closest
Sing me to comatose
I'll dream of just your face
And if you pull the plug
I'll wait for you beyond the grave
Take the air from my lungs
To cast away the rain
Drown me in your being
I'll sleep in peace among the waves
I, I, always have darkness in tow
You, you, make the darkness feel like home
Two souls inhabit one body
The closest I'll ever be to holy
Terrified to let you in
Terrified to let you in
Cause you'll see the hell
Where my demons thrive
Sanctuary
You are my only
Breath of relief
Saved me from lonely
Just like a thief
You stole my worries
And gave to me
Your heart for eternity
Sanctuary
You are my only
Breath of relief
Saved me from lonely
Just like a thief
You stole my worries
And gave to me
Your heart for eternity
I, I, always have darkness in tow
You, you, make the darkness feel like home
Two souls inhabit one body
The closest I'll ever be to holy




The closest I'll ever be to holy
The closest, the closest
