Blanket (feat. 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 place

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, yeah, yeah

My blanket covers me, yeah

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)

Alone within myself again

I try to veil away my pain

The dirty gray surrounding me round

And now I hear no sound

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

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

Music is my sanctuary

Music is my blanket

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

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
