Sonic Sanctuary

lyrics by: Trevor Cartwright
Written on Jun 25, 2025 

Verse 1
So many lies, open disguise 
Unflinching compromise
Music despising all Transcendence
A shallow itch to gratify
On radio or Spotify
Top forty cesspool of indulgence

Pre-Chorus
Is there real music left?

Chorus
You’ll never understand
The music I demand
It chases all the monsters from my mind
Sonic sanctuary
Comfort me and carry
Me through all the chaos of my life

Verse 2
Through all those years, relentless tears
Outcast, no one to hear
My silent screams and intense sorrow
Hard-hitting songs and melodies, 
Brought solace in the tragedy
And gave me hope to face tomorrow

Bridge
Is there real music left? Songs with meaning and depth?
Melodies that connect, hearts to lyrics’ intent?
