"Sanctuary" lyrics
It started with walking long distances
Desperate for a line in the sand
It started with walking long distances
But then I licked my fingers
And I couldn't see the outline of my own hand
I know I'm supposed to have a sense of self by now
But what if the knowledge of where you came from
Of what you come from
Kills the self, should kill the self?
I know who I am
I know who I am
I don't believe in it, though, I don't believe in a self that survives time
I'm gonna stay low and slow and let go of the climb
I know who I am
I don't believe in it, though, I don't believe in a self that survives time
You are not the weight you carry
Clip the strings and float away
(She looked me straight in the lion's mane)
Live inside a sanctuary
(On the street built in his image, in his name)
Lose yourself to find your way
(I know who I am)
We are not the weight we carry
(I'm so high)
Meet yourself where night meets day
(I don't need to climb anymore, I'm so high)
Live inside a sanctuary
(Nowhere else to go, I'm so high)
Lose yourself to find your way
This is where you sing your own gospel
This is where you sing yourself into existence
Speak the truth so loud
It bursts into a cloud of infinity
And dissipates into the air
And now it's just the breathing air
So you don't have to bear it anymore
Explode into the air
And land safely on the melty-pelty ground
Dirt for the future
We are not the weight we carry
(I'm so high)
Clip the strings and float away
(Nowhere else to go, I'm so high)
Live inside a sanctuary
Lose yourself to find your way
We are not the weight we carry
(I'm so high)
Meet yourself where night meets day
(All the way on top, I'm so high)
Live inside a sanctuary
(Yeah I'm lost, so what)
Lose yourself to find your way
(I'm so high)
We are not the weight we carry
Clip the strings and float away
Live inside a sanctuary
Lose yourself to find your way
Desperate for a line in the sand
It started with walking long distances
But then I licked my fingers
And I couldn't see the outline of my own hand
I know I'm supposed to have a sense of self by now
But what if the knowledge of where you came from
Of what you come from
Kills the self, should kill the self?
I know who I am
I know who I am
I don't believe in it, though, I don't believe in a self that survives time
I'm gonna stay low and slow and let go of the climb
I know who I am
I don't believe in it, though, I don't believe in a self that survives time
You are not the weight you carry
Clip the strings and float away
(She looked me straight in the lion's mane)
Live inside a sanctuary
(On the street built in his image, in his name)
Lose yourself to find your way
(I know who I am)
We are not the weight we carry
(I'm so high)
Meet yourself where night meets day
(I don't need to climb anymore, I'm so high)
Live inside a sanctuary
(Nowhere else to go, I'm so high)
Lose yourself to find your way
This is where you sing your own gospel
This is where you sing yourself into existence
Speak the truth so loud
It bursts into a cloud of infinity
And dissipates into the air
And now it's just the breathing air
So you don't have to bear it anymore
Explode into the air
And land safely on the melty-pelty ground
Dirt for the future
We are not the weight we carry
(I'm so high)
Clip the strings and float away
(Nowhere else to go, I'm so high)
Live inside a sanctuary
Lose yourself to find your way
We are not the weight we carry
(I'm so high)
Meet yourself where night meets day
(All the way on top, I'm so high)
Live inside a sanctuary
(Yeah I'm lost, so what)
Lose yourself to find your way
(I'm so high)
We are not the weight we carry
Clip the strings and float away
Live inside a sanctuary
Lose yourself to find your way
