Times are tough, frustration
Need relief, medication
Gone to far, intoxication
Fight the urge, of temptation
Miles ago, no destination
Is a real, hallucination
Lose the dream, of stagnation
Feel so lost, despiration

Sanctuary
Sanctuary
It's much too close, contamination
Love and pain, and deviation
Just suck it all, ejaculation
It's much to late, for damnation

Sanctuary
Sanctuary
When I was young
My mother told me
She said "Son
Someday everything's gonna be alright
There's no excape
There's no salvation
It's much to dark, for revelation."
