Sanctuary - Shelby Merry

Your name will never leave my lips with intention

You lost the right to live here anymore

I’ll walk without a hitch within my step

Not a single day more that I will mourn

I speak of better days not fondly

Because I know they’re all ahead of me

Sending up a flare in a sky I don’t see

I’m far away from your shooting sight

I left a land barren and decayed

I don’t know where I’ll go

But I’ll go tonight

A sanctuary

Give me sanctuary

Lay your burdens on me

Lay your burdens on me

A sanctuary

I’m okay to leave without an answer

Only curses sway and leave your mouth

Dancing around as they echo

I fill my mind with good until I drown them out

A sanctuary

Give me sanctuary

Lay your burdens on me

Lay your burdens on me

A sanctuary

Lay your burdens on me

Lay your burdens on me

Lay your burdens down

All down

Lay your burdens on me

Lay your burdens on me

Lay your burdens on me

Lay your burdens down

All down

Lay your burdens on me

Sanctuary

Sanctuary

Oh, oh, oh…
