Lyrics
Fortress
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.
It's bitter
Tastes a lot like winter
And will it- release me
So heavy
How much more to bring down the levy
And kill me - don't kill me
Chorus
I've been stayin' high...
And I've been feelin' sorry
For myself
And I've been resurrecting my
Fortress to protect myself
Shattered
Tired, beaten, worn down and tattered
Can you-even hear hear me?
What do you expect out of me
I'm being buried alive and screaming
Can't you see - Can't you see me ?
Chorus
Weary
My hands slapped I'm cautious and leary
Of tryin' - oh but I'm tryin'
How am I to figure it out
All alone I've been kickin' around
Without my home - I'm so lost...
Chorus
