Citadel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is a fortress in my heart
I try to go there in my dream
Aren't any songs for me to sing, ah, ah
Not in the fortress of my heart
Here comes the weight on me again
Here comes the weight on me again
Bone by piece, I'm bricking me over
Tier by tear, I wave to you
On my way down
Most of my life I was trained how
Just to lay down
And never ask why, I was trained how
Just to stay down
Where it's safe now, safe now
There's a destroyer in my blood
Who's handed down and waits for me
I have no air, I cannot breathe, ah, ah
With the destroyer in my blood
Here comes the weight on me again
Here comes the weight on me again
Bone by piece, I'm bricking me over
Tier by tear, I wave to you
On my way down
Most of my life, I've been trained how
Just to lay down
And never ask why I stay down
Where it's safe now
Am I safe now?
I'm safe now
Here in my citadel of self, I
I can be safe
Here in this citadel of self, I
I can be safe
Here in my citadel of self, I
I can be safe
Here in this citadel of self, I
I can be safe
