lyrics

Verse:
this is my sanctuary.
this is my humble abode.
it might not be very stable,
but it beats the grounds that you call your home.
i'm begging you not to look me in the eyes that i look through,
and ask me all my reasons why i did what i did,
but its something i knew was right.

chorus:
don't try to make amends when your walls fall down.
don't pretend you can save yourself,
until you pick yourself up off the ground.
it'll be too late when you finally wake up and see everything.
everything you loved burned to the ground.

bridge:
burned to the ground
you think you know me,
but you don't know a thing.
you think you know me,
but you don't know a thing.

pre verse:
i'll tell you once and i'll tell you again
nothing good can come from this.

verse:
your actions speak louder than the words you preach,
but your lack of action proves that back then
you were clearly misunderstood.
i can see right through your pretty words,
and i'm pretty sure that your audience isn't oblivious,
and they can see it too.

pre chorus:
you are a thief, a liar, and a cheat.
i wont believe you, you wont believe me.
you are deserving, why wont you admit defeat?


chorus:
don't try to make amends when your walls fall down.
don't pretend you can save yourself,
until you pick yourself up off the ground.
it'll be too late when you finally wake up.
