Fortress Lyrics
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
Chorus
I've been stayin' high...
And I've been feelin' sorry
For myself
And I've been resurrecting my
Fortress to protect myself
Shattered
Tired, beaten, worn down and tattered
Can you-even hear 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 ?
Chorus
Weary
My hands slapped I'm cautious and leary
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...
Chorus
Tastes a lot like winter
And will it- release me
How much more to bring down the levy
And kill me - don't kill me
And I've been feelin' sorry
For myself
And I've been resurrecting my
Fortress to protect myself
Tired, beaten, worn down and tattered
Can you-even hear 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 ?
My hands slapped I'm cautious and leary
Of tryin' - oh but I'm tryin'
All alone I've been kickin' around
Without my home - I'm so lost...

people are asking too much of him, and he can't keep up and he's getting tired, and sick of everything he's having to put up with.
I think he has been trying to protect himself from being hurt by closing up, and now he is realizing that maybe that wasn't the best course of action but he still feels it was the only thing he could have done.
This song is amazingly soulful in the lines "What do you expect out of me!?" and "How am I to figure it out?!"
