Fortress

In your eyes a reflection that will call me
To follow you through the night
Leads to the river that will calm me
The vision in your mind

Capture my thoughts in your mirage
Then release me to the sky
Return me down where I’ll be found
From the depths of hell, I’ll climb

Burying all my reckless pride
Hiding the years I justified

Do the stars look brighter from your window
Or when you’re in my arms
Will your passion burn me like the embers
To forever
Can your words mend fractures in what’s broken
Will the cure give way to life
Can I trust my soul within your fortress
Or will it cut like a knife

The battle that I fight all but consumes me
The demons won’t stay away
In the shadows increasing doubt, it grooms me
But your voice drowns it out

Poisonous words the devil’s cry
Remaining caged within your lies

Do the stars look brighter from your window
Or when you’re in my arms
Will your passion burn me like the embers
To forever
Can your words mend fractures in what’s broken
Will the cure give way to life
Can I trust my soul within your fortress
Or will it cut like a knife

I will build my world within your shadow
Protected from light
You hold the key to all my power
In your tower
You are my strength and my compassion
The reason I can fly
Can I trust my heart within your fortress
Or will it cut like a knife
