Sanctuary

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
