I have built myself a fortress
Where I’ve been hiding
Where I’ve been safe, sound
But now you’ve dug yourself a hollow in my garden
So you can swim in darkness
And I’ve placed myself beside it
To hold your hand if you come out
if you come out
I don’t know for who I’m longing
Is it you or your reflection in my mind?
But I know now, what I am hoping for
Building cages ‘round my chest to leave you out
To leave you
To leave
I must build myself a new house
With a fence and alarms
Round the edge so you can’t come
I’ll have torches in the ceilings
So I can swim in visions
Of you with your inside out
Naked and screaming and fighting me
Frightening me
I don’t know for who I’m longing
Is it you or your reflection in my mind?
But I know now, what I am hoping for
Building cages round my chest to leave you out
To leave you
To leave
I don’t know for who I’m longing
Is it you or your reflection in my mind?
But I know now, what I am hoping for
I’m building cages round my chest to leave you out
To leave you
To leave
