lyrics

When I set you up you always call my bluff.
What you ask of me I can’t help but obey.
All these times I cried you’re frying my lost mind.
Oh I see your smile terrified for a while.

Temporary sanctuary is what I need from you.
Ordinary obituary is what you put me through.
Temporary sanctuary – I’ll keep my soul for you.
Ordinary obituary – the only thing they’ll do.

And you see my lies even with disguise.
Broken, corrupt and high leave me be for a while.
Set your souls on fire I just have to admire.
What you do for the five minutes of fame tonight.

Temporary sanctuary is what I need from you.
Ordinary obituary is what you put me through.
Temporary sanctuary – I’ll keep my soul for you.
Ordinary obituary – the only thing they’ll do.

And I let you in – cuz you are my kin.
In the way of love – lost in the dark.
And I let you in – cuz you are my kin.
