lyrics

FORTRESS

Out out damn spot
Why can I not
Forget my lot
And start again

Please look at me
Why can't you see
I'm what you need
'Cause we are both broken

Innocence met circumstance
Can't reclaim what you once had
Were we not born holy

Penance 'til the end of time
What can I do to make you mine
What kind of heart longs to be lonely

And all that I wanted is yours to give
But you hold it so tightly clenched in your fist
Did I make it too easy; failed to play it right
Guess nothing seems worthy without a fight

Condemnation, punishment
Trespasses we don't dare admit
Just say your Hail Marys

But church and state can't keep you safe
Late at night there's no escape
Some wounds we carry

The fight was fixed, the game was rigged
I placed another losing bid
Are some of us just tragic

Vengeance for the things they've done
Does the tallest fortress mean you've won
Is this really what you wanted

We've all got our demons but we're more than this
The strongest among us knows his weaknesses
You think you're Gibraltar but i've seen your skin
Won't you open the window and let me in

I thought your strength could keep me safe
But it's got your heart locked to that ball and chain

Out out damn spot
Why can I not
Forget my lot
And start again
