Blanket

Imogen Heap · Other Songs - Imogen Heap

Music is my sanctuary

Music is my blanket



Emotionless this city lies

Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes

The dull, the dark

Shades on my day

I live inside this play



Locked up inside my metal cage

Always tense and filled with rage

Above the concrete fields below

With you I wanna go, wanna go



Music is my sanctuary

Music is my blanket



I see only what I wanna see

I'll be only what I wanna be

yeah-ah

My blanket covers me, yeah



Yeah (check it)

Now as a human I was party-poppin, breakin on the lino

Traded in my lino for a pad and a biro

Used to stand in line just so as I could sign my giro

But now my ends are meetin' in the best way that I know

Tk Tss Ksh and the beast that goes BOOM

See the music I consume to escape the doom and gloom

All the beats and melodies they keep realities at bay

But what happen when the record drummin' start to fade away



Alone within myself again

I try to veil away my pain

The dirty grey surrounding me 'round

And now I hear no sounds...



I feel like Melly Mel from way back in the days

As I wonder how I keep from going under

I got trouble on my mind like my name is Chuck D

And like Marvin Gaye it makes me wanna holler

But when the music hits me

I feel no pain

That's why I got to put you on again and again

I take the needle off the Technics

And put it in my vein

All my troubles get crushed

As the rush hits my brain

And away .. goes .. trouble.. down the drain



I see only what I wanna see

I'll be only who I wanna be

yeah-ah, yeah-ah

My blanket covers me



Music is my sanctuary

Music is my blanket



I see only what I wanna see

I'll be only who I wanna be

yeah-ah, yeah-ah

My blanket covers me



Music is my sanctuary

Music is my blanket



You are my living world

You are my living world

You are you are you are my

My only living world....
