Grew up in shadows dark and cold
The pain they left a heavy load
In my mind the scars remain
In my heart forever pain
Trust is now a broken glass
Shattered pieces in my past
Friends they try to get too close
Walls go up I push them most
Don't come near me can't you see
I'm a fortress always be
Built these walls to hide inside
From the demons that won't die
Family asks where did I go
They don't see the wounds they show
Smiles that hide the truth beneath
Loneliness is my only sheath
Lovers try to break me free
But the chains they hold the key
Can't trust love can't trust the heart
Abuse tore me apart
Don't come near me can't you see
I'm a fortress always be
Built these walls to hide inside
From the demons that won't die
Don't come near me can't you see
I'm a fortress always be
Built these walls to hide inside
From the demons that won't die
From the demons that won't die
Don't come near me can't you see
I'm a fortress always be
Built these walls to hide inside
From the demons that won't die
Won't die
From the demons that won't die
Won't die
From the demons that won't die
