I'm looking for something
But what is it?
What are you looking for?
I sit in a cold room, silence my only friend
Try to replicate his scars upon myself
Self-inflicting martyr with a rusty blade
Safe in self-pity in my own private hell
No angel's come to carry me
So where's the truth in sanctuary?
Wrapped around your empty lies
I wait for you to rescue me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me something real
He stills down, watches me with such indifferent eyes
From his place up there upon my wall
Sickness, it bites my throat as I call his name
And I'm screaming inside to make sense of it all
No angel's come to carry me
So where's the truth in sanctuary?
Wrapped around your empty lies
I wait for you to rescue me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me something real
I recite that verse again, it allows now dead in peace
And I beg forgiveness behind a veil of tears
But I find no reason, no reason for me to stay
No comforting hand to take away my fears
No angel's come to carry me
So where's the truth in sanctuary?
Wrapped around your empty lies
I wait for you to rescue me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me something real
I take that last great leap, what end I don't know
My blood forms flowers on the floor
And all your sacred words are but so many swords
And my head is bleeding from your crown of thorns
No angel's come to carry me
So where's the truth in sanctuary?
Wrapped around your empty lies
I wait for you to rescue me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me something
No angel's come to carry me
So where's the truth in sanctuary?
Wrapped around your empty lies
I wait for you to rescue me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me, oh, show me
Show me something real
