"Sanctuary"

My eyes are burning
From the pain that I don't feel
Is there anything worth fighting for
Is there anything that's real?

Cause in this life that you've designed
I stick out like a sore thumb
I regrettably embrace
The way that I've become

So show me love
All the places that it's found
Don't come to me
No matter how much I sing out
So if you're with me
If there's reason to this doubt
Then give me sanctuary
God I need it now

I would do anything
To find a place called home
And I see now that I reach out
For temporary thrones

To place myself and my desires
In a place they don't belong
You want to strip it all away from me
To show me that it's wrong

Cause I need your love
All the places that it's found
Don't come to me
No matter how much I sing out
So if you're with me
If there's reason to this doubt
Then give me sanctuary
God I need it now

I'm reaching out for acceptance
I tell myself it's justified
If everyone's desperate for love
Why not accept it where you find
But it's not real
I've taken hold of counterfeit
I've bought and sold my soul away
Will you help me reclaim it?

Cause I need love
You're the one place that it's found
Don't run to me
I'm on my way now
I'm on my way now
On my way now
