Empty Promises

From Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire1997

Lyrics

Empty Promises

You come to me with salvation Saying I must repent You offer up your redemption A guarantee of a better life in your safe world Your illusions are comfort for your conscience My sacrifices will be made In honor of what is truly sacred How can you save me When you can't save yourself? You can't save yourself You can't save yourself
