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 embarra**ed 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
d**h 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
d**h 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
