Sanctuary

Текст песни Paradise Fears - Sanctuary

[Verse 1]
So go ahead and lie to yourself
And pretend that you're a ray of light when you're a broken candle
You keep in time with yourself
When did it all start moving way too fast for you to handle?
You're short on breath
But heavy on time
You lost the words
But you found the rhyme
It's all just poetry now

[Chorus]
The walls are singing
Hallelujah amen
The walls are singing
Hallelujah amen

[Verse 2]
It's so dark in the room
And the ceilings are high
You know the feeling
You've been here before
And it's a broken old pew and it's an echoing cry
Don't sell yourself
Short on breath,
But heavy on time
You lost the words but you found the rhyme
It's all just poetry now
[Chorus]
The walls are singing
Hallelujah amen
The walls are singing
Hallelujah amen

[Chorus]
The walls are singing
Hallelujah amen
The walls are singing
Hallelujah amen

[Instrumental/Spoken Word Interlude]
See we don't really care who you are.
We kind of got this non-exclusive policy of determining exactly who we open up to and let into our family, then who becomes a part of our united mass of harmony.
And that's kind of become the thesis to this song.
Through suffering, acceptance, grief, and strife, theres no way that your puzzle piece fits into our puzzle wrong cause everyone is welcome on this stage that we call life.
And we don't really care who you are. Everyone is capable of looking up and wishing on a star.
So catch it so contagious, this daydreamers disease and hope can be you sword, slaying darkness with belief.
And we don't really care who you are regardless of how lost you are returning from, regardless of how far.
So bring me all the worst of your broken, bruised, insane because that's the thing with music when it hits you feel no pain.
No matter what you did I promise we forgave it all that's left is your voice you have no choice but to raise it.
All you broken hearts all you dejected dreams just let yourself be free because even broken wings can fly away.

[Bridge]
In time you'll find
This life's a painting and you're the artist
Just open your eyes
It's never to late to clear your canvas
So paint me jealous
Paint me rage
For god's sake paint me anything
Just paint, your brush awaits
[Outro]
Hallelujah amen
The walls sing you to sleep
Hallelujah amen
One secret meant to keep you safe tonight
I swear that everything will be all right
