Fortress Lyrics

I've been dreaming all my thoughts away

Realistic, logical brainwaves

Tell me how to feel and what to say

As all my days and nights are swept away

I'm waiting on the world to detonate

A self-inflicted gunshot to the brain

Will help remind me why I'm in this place

A hell where everybody knows my fate

'Cause I'm stuck inside a fortress

Waiting to escape

While ever so subtly

I'm beaten into place

I won't take no for an answer

Stuck inside a fortress

Waiting to escape

While ever so subtly

I'm beaten into place

I won't take no for answer

Kid, you and I don't get a simple life

We're mindless sockets meant to line their pockets

While you hide your feelings, they're not welcome here

You live everyday behind your biggest fears

So, just sit and listen

While I tell you when and where to

Jump to bad conclusions

Bask in your confusion

Man you're late you better be on time

Or kiss your future on the ass goodbye

'Cause I'm stuck inside a fortress

Waiting to escape

While ever so subtly

I'm beaten into place

I won't take no, I won't take no

Holding onto something

That isn't even there

So let me plummet peacefully

Into the open air

I won't take no, I won't take no
