Congratulations (feat. Imogen Heap) - Blue October

Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket Emotionless the 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 My blanket covers me, yes Yeah, check it Now as a yout 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 Alone within myself again I try to veil away my pain The dirty grey 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 going under I got trouble on my mind like my name is chuck d And like marvin gaye it makes me wanna holler 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 be only who I wanna be My blanket covers me Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket I see only what I wanna see I be only who I wanna be 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...

Here we are Blood pressure rising fast Air electric Conduct this orchestra A micro utopia born As the overture plays This prelude to life long love And our body entanglement takes You all over me Me all over you Fearless heart I'm gonna take care of you Whether spark or spiral I'll pull the strength of suns It's home where you hold me So show me no mercy On islands of cotton Taboos get forgotten Our body entanglement wants You all over me Me all over you You all over me Oh, burst me into bloom I dare you to Lose yourself in our embodiment Ravage this palate of pinks and reds and Dissolve into radiance It's home where you hold me So show me no mercy On islands of cotton Taboos get forgotten Our body entanglement wants You all over me Me all over you You all over

Slow heart Dark weight Down love Black canvas Revolve within You understand Fragile Earthware Cracks in The temperature Keep it cool to give You understand Keep it cool to give You understand Slow heart Dark weight Down love Black canvas Revolve within You understand Fragile Earthware Cracks in The temperature Keep it cool to give You understand Keep it cool to give You understand 'Cause I just can't find the strength To pull you up and keep you taut No, I just can't find the strength To haul you up and keep you taut Hijacked Lost track Light fades Another day lapsed Long shadows lure you in The more you look The less you see So close your eyes And start to breathe Oh, you said yourself, "This wasn't easy" Mm, you said yourself, "This wasn't easy" Oh, I just can't find the strength To pull you up and keep you taut No, I just can't find the strength To haul you up and keep you taut 'Cause I just can't find the strength To keep you taut

Baby behave we'll make it work Are you with me? You're not golden and I'm getting tired Act like you own the place when really you've only just arrived I caught first glimmers in hides and skins Look who's all grown up, black swanning about the solar winds You're gonna lose it all and find yourself on your knees So get a grip and you might flow reverse the great slow bleed I've tried patience but you always want a war This house won't tolerate anymore Stop this right away Put that down and clean this mess up End of conversation Put your back in it and make it up to me now The cold shoulder, folded arms, the looking up You've never listened and carry on careless regardless This is not a fire drill and if we hold any hope It's harmonic connection, in stereo symbiosis These Legoland empires choking out mine Now you're everywhere, everywhere multiplying around me child A strain on my heart This rock can't tolerate anymore Stop this right away Put that down and clean this mess up End of conversation Put your back in it and make it up to me now Baby behave we'll make it work (Do you love me?) Get only what you give back Stop this right away Put that down and clean this mess up End of conversation Put your back in it and make it up to me now Stop this right away Put that down and clean this mess up End of conversation Put your back in it and make it up to me now Are you with me? Get only what you give back

October And the trees are striped bare From all they wear What do I care? October And kingdoms rise And kingdoms fall But you go on And on...

Maybe it's just me but I wish it was cold outside 'Cause I get no sleep when I'm stuck in the middle of July I'm counting every day and I can't wait 'til summer's over So I can see ya, so I can hold ya I just wanna be wrapped up in all your love and pull you closer But it's never the time or the place, I'm June and you're October Should be lying next to you but summer's over But it's never the time or the place, I'm June and you're October My sweet October, that's you My sweet October, that's you Now I reminisce 'bout the rose gold dimples on your face Oh, baby, what I give for the ice cold kiss, don't keep me waiting anymore I miss you like the sun misses the moon in sweet October 'Cause I wanna see ya, I wanna hold ya I just wanna be wrapped up in all your love and pull you closer But it's never the time or the place, I'm June and you're October Should be lying next to you but summer's over But it's never the time or the place, I'm June and you're October My sweet October, that's you My sweet October, that's you Can you wrap me all up in your love? Can you pull, can you pull me closer? 'Cause I'm June and you're October You're my sweet, you're my sweet October Can you wrap me all up in your love? Can you pull, can you pull me closer? 'Cause I'm June and you're October You're my sweet, you're my sweet October I just wanna be wrapped up in all your love and pull you closer But it's never the time or the place, I'm June and you're October Should be lying next to you but summer's over But it's never the time or the place, I'm June and you're October My sweet October, that's you My sweet October, that's you

Well, she slid down the hall in her socks and yelled, "Come outside" No, no, no, nothing's wrong I just happen to have a surprise So we fell through the door like the autumn leaves And I wrestled my brother down to his knees Just to watch as her rocket shot into the October sky There's a picture of us In a layer of dust On the mantle Right by my cigarettes that I smoke since you left 'Cause you said you had to fly In your October sky Now I work in the city and I blend into the crowd And the people grieve with me since the towers came down, down You could cut the pollution with a butter knife You could wake up at two and then party all night But I'm missin' my mama, so I stand on the street and get high There's a picture of us Hidden in a layer of dust On the mantle Right by my cigarettes that I smoke since you left 'Cause you said you had to fly In your October sky Oh, woah, oh And as I go back home to Memphis I remember days that I I was outside shootin' rockets Almost as high, high In your October In your October In your October In your October In your October sky
