In our fortress of shame   We're shaved down to the bone and left out exposed   We help ourselves out of the rain   When we catch the lies   Become embarrassed by the truth and won't dare move   Cause we keep on slicing the pain   Now there’s nowhere to hide   Showing up in the dark like the flame from a spark   Yet I didn't see it fall from my heart      Death is just a word   Stories go unheard   But I don't want them to know      That in our fortress of shame   We light candles to show them we can avoid them   Till the end runs me to a tread   When I click my fingers   You are here once again to brighten up my head   But you keep me on that tread      Death is just a word   Stories go unheard   But I don't want them to know, knowwwww      In our fortress of shame   We build towers too tall   So we see nothing at all   Our fortress has no reason to stand
