Fortress

At the tail of the summer, I feel so cold

I’ve broken my wings, trying to fit the mould

More questions than answers, so much unknown

The numbers go up, but I’m down here alone

 

First day in the new world, but what does that mean?

How many changes affect my routine?

Plans in captivity, hope lost in time

My own private prison cell, but I’ve done no crime

 

They say this phase, it won’t last long

But I’ve done my research and I know they’re wrong

My hopes and dreams, they’ve been mislaid

Regression takes hold as the meaning starts to fade

 

Yes, turns to maybe, then maybe turns to no

Stare at the picture, with nowhere to go

The candle burns faster each empty day

Give in to nostalgia, start drifting away

 

They say this phase, it won’t last long

But I’ve done my research and I know they’re wrong

My hopes and dreams, they’ve been mislaid

Regression takes hold as the meaning fades

Here in my fortress

Lost in the phantom zone

Yearning for solace

Spiralling down, resolution unknown

Here in my fortress

Inside my mind, I’m lost at sea

Yearning for solace

Into the void, let the waves carry me

 

Plans out the window, time on my side

I’m in a void somewhere in between

Head on the pillow, eyes open wide

Here in my room, I shut out the gloom

Leaving this world of uncertainty behind

Here in my fortress

Lost in the phantom zone

Yearning for solace

Spiralling down, resolution unknown

Here in my fortress

Inside my mind, I’m lost at sea

Yearning for solace

Into the void...

Let the waves carry me
