I've been drawing momentary art on window fog
I don't carve my thoughts or feelings into weeping willow bark
Trade this endless noisy forest for a single log to split
And divvy up into a million walls to build upon
The limo's parked in the pond
I guess I took a turn wrong
And I forgot the keys
You can see the rocks that we're on
Have all been covered in moss
And I got lost in the leaves
But you were all that I needed
I sing your song to the trees
Before they topple like dominoes
Dragged about, wrapped in chains
Talks of towns is inaudible
When I board up this place
With the remnants of the forest
Our old "welcome home" mat
Becomes the entrance to the fortress, I'm formless
I just hide behind my fail-safe fortress walls
I just hide behind my fail-safe fortress walls
I just hide behind my fail-safe fortress walls
Only way that I can get out the storm
I've seen the way the boats get swallowed up whole
The way the cliffs give out and fail for those who want to oppose
The way the winds pin down the frail and weak-willed
So I won't let it happen
Weld the hatches shut, and
Made a gateway on the easel
And I can't escape the headaches
Or the knocks at the door
That may or may not be happening
I won't fall on my sword, I'll just
Gorge out of habit, eating to cram the thoughts down
The memories of you, but by myself is with the wrong crowd
The blueprints drawn out
I've got to reinforce the roof
Because the weekend storms are brutal in here
Being short of you
It's not healthy, I know it
I feel the same in the mornin'
And it's so stupid to say it
But I feel safe in the fortress
