Sanctuary
(Østby / Khan)
blind eyes search the sky
but try not to reveal
uncertainty behind
images dancing on a wall
each tear a vision
the more you cry you'll learn
it's so easy to hide in the dark
the song you know so well
encourages to flee
the answer to your tears
lingers in colours you can't see
each word a whisper
the more they say you'll find
it's so easy to hide in the dark
you won't find the treasure
below the rainbows end
black and white are strangers
to the pictures of the rain
you meet another day
with hasty little lies
when someone laughs
you turn away
glad people make you feel unsafe
there's a place where all is sound
where you know
you won't be found
where the sun
and the moon never shine
and it's easy to hide in the dark
