Lyrics

Emotionless this city lies
Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
The dull the dark shades on my day
I live inside this place
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only what I wanna be
My blanket covers me, yes
Yeah, as a youth man I was body poppin, breaking on the lino
Traded in my lino for a pad and a biro
And I used to stand in line just so as I could sign my giro
Now my ends are meetin' in the best way that our lord got us
And the beast that goes boom
Music I consume to escape the doom and gloom
The beats and melodies keep realities at bay
But what happens when the record's gonn' start to fade away
Alone within myself again
I try to veil away my pain
Above the concrete feels pillow
With you I wanna go
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only who I wanna be
My blanket covers me
Covers me, covers me, covers me
Woudn't they
I see only what I wanna see
I be only who I wanna be
My blanket covers me, yeah
You are my living world
You are my living world
You are you are you are
Only living world
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only who I wanna be
My blanket covers me
Covers me, covers me, covers me
Woudn't they
I'll be only who I wanna be
I'll see only what I wanna see
My blanket covers me
