Fortress of Solitude

Reaching through the dark abyss

Darkness clawing at my soul

Broken and Alone are my true friends

Loneliness never deserts me

Only heartbreak comforts me

Pain lets me know I'm alive

Madness assures me I'm just fine

My Fortress of Solitude

Where is the light I seek

I long to be the warmth you meet

Be the star to my starless night

Give me the courage to take flight

Would you leave the world behind for me?

Would you follow me to the ends Earth?

Why do I find comfort in misery and pain?

Why do I take two steps back and find no gain?

What love can set me free from the wretched fate?

What savior would grant me great escape, from the me I've become?

Dark and twisted

Never lifted

Fortress of Solitude
