The Shondes - The Fortress lyrics

[Verse 1] It's pointless to try and touch me I cannot be taken by surprise In the darkness, in the daylight Everybody lies [Chorus] I build it alone However much force it takes to make it hold I build it alone I put a stone on each grave, below [Verse 2] Nothing inside is going to survive But the fortress is built to last Layers of cement on top of layers of rot Oh, where do my photographs go? [Chorus] [Bridge] We all lose some pieces in the autumn and we watch as the river carries them out to sea Every season I've endured, I've learned that I should never, ever look away [Chorus]
