[Verse 1]

Impoverished and bleeding

Hope here something fast receding

Dead light holocaust

I check this body in tonight

Cross my heart and hope to die

To never leave this place alive

I'm burning right in front of you

I break myself against you I lay still

[Verse 2]

Your penetrating glances

Dead stop all my vain advances

To another place

Where I can truly be myself

[Pre-Chorus]

Respirators kicked on high

Life support keeps me alive

To forgive I will never do

One last kiss is all I need from

[Chorus]

(You ride)

Salvation going under

(They say)

They say I won't survive you

I wish I never knew you

Your name is Katatonia

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

(You ride)

Salvation going under

(They say)

They say I won't survive you

(Your name)

Your name is sanctuary

I call you Katatonia
