A whisper a tempest is raging from within
 I hold my breath bitter proud
 Afraid to scream fire in the middle of a crowd
 I ponder incision envision the brain
 I beckon the surgeon to a slice against the grain
 now that I've waisted you
 the white room is pure the doctors are brave
 If there's a cure I want to be saved
 Sanctuary

 Under the knife sharp and shiny key
 Repair redeem resurrection
 Under the knife they'll cut you out of me
 Maybe love's imitation is life under the knife

 I have come to determine a reasonable doubt
 Where heaven and hell draw their boundary lines about
 Now that I've waisted you now that I've tasted you
 The white room had frost on the cold window pane
 Your love had been lost my love was in vain
 Sanctuary

 Cynical splices stitch and install
 Solder the filaments I feel nothing at all
 Second wind secrets let them rise let them fall
 I'll walk through your firestorm but never never crawl
 The gambler lives the blood stain dries
 It's time to forgive I open my eyes
 Sanctuary
