about

‘The Fortress’ describes a helpless mind, flailing in the depths of depression, not knowing how to escape as the proverbial walls close in.

lyrics

Crying in the corner of my room
My thoughts lay waste and consume
It's a battlefield, I'm no soldier
It's a raging war we weren't trained for

Building up my courage
As the threat that looms before me closes in
If there's carnage ahead, can I face it?
It's a hateful affair
And it makes me feel so helpless all the time

Not knowing what to do
When the bad days come
Not knowing how to feel
When the walls come down
And the fortress is overrun

I think it's time to address
The scale of this
I think it's time to address
The scale of this

Flailing with my back against the wall
My blade sings true as I fall
There's a line, I can't hold it
As the phantoms advance, I grow colder

Lying in the ruins of my final folly
The deep dark closes in
It's a nightmare, I can't shake it
It's a hateful affair
And it makes me feel so helpless all the time

Not knowing what to do
When the bad days come
Not knowing how to feel
When the walls come down
And the fortress is overrun
