Darkest Hour - Sanctuary Lyrics

On dawn of the day, I arose to the thunder again
The pounding in my head
It doesn't seem to phase me, how every scream
They pretend not to hear echoes through me

Standing, complacently waiting
I try to tell myself our lives are worth more than this
So give, give me a chance to take it all back
I'll show you that I'm worth more than your pittance or pity

It's a spit in the face, so don't even try to explain
The earth shakes beneath my feet
And as these buildings they crumble around me
I call out

If you can hear me, come and let me out
Oh, please break me out, give me sanctuary
You know this whole world knows
You won't be satisfied 'til you fill up another cemetery

If you can hear me, come and let me out
Oh, please break me out, give me sanctuary

It's all a game to you, we won't be fooled again
By you into thinking that it's easy
Nobody said this would be easy to swallow or process or fake
And dark will be the day when I elude their desires no longer will I be

Standing, complacently waiting
I try to tell myself our lives are worth more than this
So give, give me a chance to take it all back
I'll show you that I'm worth more than this
