Sanctuary

I’m off in another
I’m off in another place
Like even when I’m here
Like even when I’m here I’m gone
I decree to a degree
To wash my body of these fantasies
That leave me still
Against my will
Cold sweat up against the windowsill
Cold sweat up against the windowsill
Will you shed your skin for mine?
Mixed with ashes, gold, and pine
Here’s to the death of the divine
To the birth of our own time
Though my frame may weary
To these burdens that I carry
In you I’ll find my sanctuary
Though my frame may weary
To these burdens that I carry
In you I’ll find my sanctuary
In you I’ll find my sanctuary
(In you I find my sanctuary)
(You're my sanctuary)
Love me while I’m here
For this time will fade I fear
When the shadows appear
Gone will you be
My sweet belvedere
