Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
[Verse 2]
Emotionless, this city lies
Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
The dull, the dark shades on  my day
I live inside this place
[Verse 3]
Locked up inside my metal cage
Always tense and filled with rage
Above the concrete fields below
With you I wanna go, wanna go
[Verse 4]
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
[Verse 5]
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only what I wanna be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My blanket covers me, yeah
[Verse 6]
Yeah, check it
Now as a youth, man, I was body 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
And the beats that go boom
See the music I consume to escape the doom and gloom
All the beats and melodies that keep realities at bay
But what happen when the record's done and start to fade away? (Fade away)
[Verse 7]
Alone within myself again
I try to veil away my pain
The dirty gray surrounding me round
And now I hear no sound
[Verse 8]
I feel like Melle Mel from way back in the days
As I wonder how I keep from goin' under
I got trouble on my mind like my name was Chuck D
And like Marvin Gaye, it makes me wanna holla
When the music hits me, I feel no pain
That's why I gotta 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
[Verse 9]
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only who I wanna be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My blanket covers me
[Verse 10]
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
[Verse 11]
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only who I wanna be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My blanket covers me
[Verse 12]
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
[Verse 13]
You are my living world
You are my living world
You are, you are, you are my
My only living world
