Ten Second Epic - Sanctuary Lyrics

I just want to give you shelter,
It's safe to close your eyes.
I'm not going to sugar coat it,
This is a hard life.
And every time I see you,
by accident or design,
There's something beneath the surface
(In between the lines).

I want you to talk to me,
But I don't say it.
You don't have to run.

Lay your defenses down,
You've been running like a refugee.
Lay your defenses down
And I'll be your sanctuary.
Whoa oh, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary.

When you get tired of fighting
And you've had enough.
When you're walking wounded
And it's too much.
You can take off your armour,
You can lay down your shield.
I just want to hold the world back
Give you time to heal.

I want you to talk to me,
But I don't say it.
You don't have to run away.

Lay your defenses down,
You've been running like a refugee.
Lay your defenses down
And I'll be your sanctuary.
Whoa oh, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary.
Whoa oh, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary.

Close your eyes, it's a hard life.

I could make you a promise,
But time will make it clear.
After the dust has settled,
I'll still be right here.

You need to let me in.

So lay your defenses down,
You've been running like a refugee.
Lay your defenses down
And I'll be your sanctuary.
Whoa oh, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary.

Whoa oh, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary.
Whoa oh, oh yeah
I'll be your sanctuary.
Whoa oh, oh yeah
