"Blanket" lyrics - IMOGEN HEAP
[Verse 1: Imogen Heap]
Emotionless the city lies
Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
The dull, the dark shades on my day
I live inside this place
[Verse 2: Imogen Heap]
Locked up inside my metal cage
Always tense and filled with rage
Above the concrete fields below
With you I wanna go, wanna go
[Refrain: MC Grint]
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
[Chorus: Imogen Heap]
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only what I wanna be
My blanket covers me, yeah
[Verse 3: MC Grint]
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 meet in the best way that I know
(Hat, snare, kick) and the beats that go boom
See the music I consume to escape the doom and gloom
All the beats and melodies keep realities at bay
But what happens when the records done and starts to fade away
[Verse 4: Imogen Heap]
Alone within myself again
I try to veil away my pain
The dirty grey surrounding me 'round
And now I hear no sound
[Verse 5: MC Grint]
I feel like Melle 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 want to holler
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
[Chorus: Imogen Heap]
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only what I wanna be
My blanket covers me, yeah
[Refrain: MC Grint]
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
[Chorus: Imogen Heap]
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only what I wanna be
My blanket covers me, yeah
[Refrain: MC Grint]
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
[Outro: Imogen Heap]
You are my living world
You are my living world
You are you are you are my
My only living world
