Lyrics Paradise Fears – Sanctuary

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

You’re short on breath
But heavy on time
You lost the words
But you found the rhyme
It’s all just poetry now

The walls are singing
Hallelujah amen
The walls are singing
Hallelujah amen

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

The walls are singing
Hallelujah amen
The walls are singing
Hallelujah amen

In time you’ll find
This life’s a painting and you’re the artist
Just open your eyes
It’s never too late to clear your canvas

So paint me jealous
Paint me rage
For God’s sake paint me anything
Just paint
Your brush awaits

Hallelujah amen
The walls sing you to sleep
Hallelujah amen
One secret meant to keep you safe tonight
I swear that everything will be alright
