Sanctimony Lyrics

Give me the love, that you all dream of

Help me to see the light that your words can bring

I'm fading to gray

My mind is plagued

With the sorrows I claim

As my life begins to decay

Reaching out for a helping hand to save me

The white caps in life are choking my airway

Can't you see that I've become my own ashtray

Stop treating me like motherfucking child's play

Do my ears betray my sanity

Why do they tell me to silence my mayday

Soon you'll have my emotions downplayed

Then you rape me like it's your own fucking field day

"Man up" they say, "you fuckin' pussy"

"Stop your crying this life is your hay day"

"To be happy you must follow the lord's way"

"Shut your winey mouth, you give me a headache"

The reality is I've lost all sense

What'll be thrown at me next

Claw and clamber for what I have left

Just wait your turn to walk in my steps

Give me the love that you all dream of

Help me to see the light that your words can bring

Cast self aside so you'll realize

That soon we'll all glare at our own wounds to clean

Faith is lost

In my own worth

We're all to blame

For spitting hurt

You think only I can hurt me

But the blade will strike inadvertently

My pain's become your payday

Now you just wait to save the day

Give me patience God for I need it please

I can see their hearts poisoned with their own greed

Love's the only way for me to plant the seed

It will help them recognize what we all need

Give me the love that you all dream of

Help me to see the light that your words can bring

Cast self aside so you'll realize

That soon we'll all glare at our own wounds to clean

Set aside your plan for me to reshape

To ideals of how I should behave

Time to walk the line of my own fate

It's your final chance to help me escape

I pray to above for the care I plead of

Help me to live the life that slips away from me

Give me the love that you all dream of

Help me to see the light that your words can bring

Cast self aside so you'll realize

That soon we'll all glare at our own wounds to clean
