lyrics

Sanctimus, your discipline is strong
But it won't take long
For you to paint a thousand things to do you in
You've got a jury in your heart now,
Don't you think they're ready to critique a work of art now?
Oh,
You're feeling different now
And you can understand
Your heart is not a form
Of living contraband
There is a survey of your dreams to make
Where all your make-believe mistakes
Come flashing back to light
As something right.

Sanctimus, you're threatened by reward
So you thank the Lord--
This is learning how to keep what you have earned
And even though she's not your daughter,
That drink is thicker than another glass of water
Oh
You've come so very far
You are allowed to be
The man you hope you are,
The one we all can see
That nightmare may have got the best of you
But pressed between the pages of the rest of you
Like blossoms of the night, you keep a light
You keep a light.
