Sanctuary Rig - Don't Hurt Me lyrics

I know who you are I know who you are You've taken me over We've travelled so far You were all I lived for And my only care But now it's all over This hopeless affair And all I hear is my own breathing And my head is running wild You've taken all my memories I'm just a little child—don't hurt me! You promised me freedom But poisoned my life I made you my master You buried the knife You thought that you owned me But you were so wrong You preyed on my weakness But I grew up strong And all I hear is my own breathing And my head is running wild I've got you by the throat now So where's your little child?—won't hurt me! Now I am the master Now I make the rules I'm not your possession Not one of your fools I no longer need you Though I still bear your scar I've seen right, right through you I know who you are! And all you hear is your own breathing And your head is running wild You're just a distant memory You're just a little child—can't hurt me! And so, old friend, it's come to this The Jesus cloak, the Judas kiss With studied precision you set out your stall Sold us a lie and made fools of us all And now, ten years on, you think you're still bad to the bone? Just an empty voice, empty threats, on the end of a telephone A sad spectre lurking in a darkened doorway Well, we can play that if you like, you can have it your way See, you've been away, old son, and I've grown I take care of myself, I look out for my own I can hold up my head, and I don't need you There's nothing for you here, go find another cheap slag to screw Is that the only way that you can get your kicks? A manipulation addict, gagging for a fix But it's your last cheap ticket, your last head-f** You've exhausted my patience, my love and your luck If I were you, sunshine, I'd stay right away Or come back to the manor, and deal with The Blade You're laughing now, pal, but you'll get yours Your shame lasts as long as this endures
