Build my fortress. Reclaim the days. And I'll restore the things, The ways, the means Until it hurts more than bombs in brains. That's all that I can take. I try to sing but I never recall the key, The time redeemed. Take a breath and I'm a fool if I don't Pretend like I'm inspired - But maybe I'm just tired. Turn the pages. Old lines, done times. Teach my children how to live to die And watch them save their pennies in jars, Buy cars and marry them away.
