lyrics

Color is my sanctuary

I take refuge in brilliant hues

And these days are strewn around me

In violet, crimson, greens, and blues.

I want to paint your portrait everyday

But you will not hold still

I want to read your fortune, but you say

That you’re afraid

Your heart might spill,

Your heart might spill.

You're afraid your heart might spill.

Break the tendrils of the ordinary,

That wrap you in the dark and dim

Wrapped so tightly in your own sad story

Your doors tight shut, your eyes are grim

Won't you let me in?

I want to paint your portrait everyday

But you will not hold still

I want to read your fortune, but you say

That you’re afraid.

Your heart might spill, your heart might spill.

You're afraid your heart might spill

Color is my sanctuary

I take refuge, I take refuge.
