Stronghold

(album: Shades Of Sorrow - 2023)

Curled up in the corner of my fortress
A refuge from this overwhelming world
Thick stone walls which no harm can trespass
Behind the curtains, I surrender to nothingness

Paralyzed
Afraid of what might never happen
Paralyzed
Feeling the pain of what never hurt me
Paralyzed
Afraid of losing what I don't have
My fear of suffering got me suffering from all I fear

Stronghold
The walls that keep me safe, imprison me
Stronghold
Memories confine me in my misery
Stronghold
Until reality is a safe place to live
Stronghold
Bonded with fear, my only company

Bonded with fear, I face another day
Bonded with fear, my only company

Shielded from failure, judgement, defeat
Hurting from scenarios that don't exist
Turning possibilities into dead-ends
Dread sovereign before hope and faith

Paralyzed
Afraid of what might never happen
Paralyzed
Feeling the pain of what never hurt me
Paralyzed
Afraid of losing what I don't have
My fear of suffering got me suffering from all I fear

Stronghold
The walls that keep me safe, imprison me
Stronghold
Memories confine me in my misery
Stronghold
Until reality is a safe place to live
Stronghold
Bonded with fear, my only company
