Sanctuary - Ørjan Nilsen

A slap in the face

It is endowed.

The light of my life

is put out somehow.

I’m lying in pieces of

emotions you control.

You’re feeling my sympathy

the lie unfolds.

Feeling this hostility, I pray.

Begging, make this evil go away.

Conveying the things I only fear.

Building my sanctuary of blood and tears.

The lines that I traced

around the scars they swell.

In plain with a sedative

to numb this spell.

I’m lying in pieces of

emotions you control.

You’re feeling my sympathy

the lie unfolds.

Feeling this hostility, I pray.

Begging, make this evil go away.

Conveying the things I only fear.

Building my sanctuary of blood and tears.

Feeling animosity

when no one else is around.

Blindly I scream into the air.

Eating my heart off the ground.

Feeling this hostility, I pray.

Begging, make this evil go away.

Conveying the things I only fear.

Building my sanctuary of blood and tears.
