Sanctuary

I’ve let a snake’s venom
Course through me
I’ve lost myself
I’ve done so willingly
What have I become?
Let me in
Let me guide you
I’ll protect you from yourself
I’d give my life
For my pride
I’d do anything, for you
It is the voice you hear
Whispering
I’m surrendering
To ghosts inside my head
Our egos become altars
We kneel to each day
To sacrifice who we are
To live as master and slave
So sing
Sing into the night
Calling out from death
Please, give me back
The spark of life
Lazarus, Lazarus
I am falling faster now
Falling fast from death
I’ll surrender like the ghost inside your tomb
