Encounter

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

I walked the halls where the amps still hum

Painted concrete under my palm

Somebody's laughter stuck in the wall

I counted mistakes but I missed the call

Pre-Chorus

And the low end keeps its promise

The low end keeps its promise to me

Chorus

What I carried was more than I knew

More than I knew

I didn't only break things

I touched something true

Something true

Drop

Sanctuary

Sanctuary

Verse 2

Breath on the mic unpolished and bare

The strings complain and I let them

I have had encounters of a rare design

I am gaining ground one slow step at a time

Pre-Chorus

And the floor keeps holding steady

The floor keeps holding steady for me

Chorus

What I carried was more than I knew

More than I knew

I didn't only break things

I touched something true

Something true

Drop

Sanctuary

Sanctuary

Bridge

Deep deep down the cavern opens wide

Wide enough to hold a smaller fear

Wide enough to hold me here

Chorus

What I endured is more than I knew

More than I knew

I have not only fallen

I have stood in something true

Something true

Drop

Sanctuary

Sanctuary

Sanctuary
