"Fortress" lyrics - SISTER HAZEL

It's bitter
Tastes a lot like winter
And will it- release me

So heavy
How much more to bring down the levy
And kill me - Don't kill me

I've been stayin' high
And I've been feeling sorry
For myself
And I've been resurrecting my
Fortress to protect myself

Shattered
Tired, beaten worn down and tattered
Can you - even hear me?
What do you expect out of me
I'm being buried alive and screaming
Can't you see - Can't you see me?

I've been stayin' high
And I've been feeling sorry
For myself
And I've been resurrecting my
Fortress to protect myself

Weary
My hands slapped I'm cautious and leery
Of tryin' - Oh but I'm tryin'

How am I to figure it out
All alone I've been kickin' around
Without my home - I'm so lost

I've been stayin' high
And I've been feeling sorry
For myself
And I've been resurrecting my
Fortress to protect myself
