I have built myself a fortress Where I've been hiding Where I've been safe, sound But now you've dug yourself a hollow in my garden So you can swim in darkness And I've placed myself beside it To hold your hand if you come out If you come out I don't know for who I'm longing Is it you or your reflection in my mind? But I know now, what I am hoping for Building cages ‘round my chest to leave you out To leave you To leave I must build myself a new house With a fence and alarms Round the edge so you can't come I'll have torches in the ceilings So I can swim in visions Of you with your inside out Naked and screaming and fighting me Frightening me I don't know for who I'm longing Is it you or your reflection in my mind? But I know now, what I am hoping for Building cages round my chest to leave you out To leave you To leave I don't know for who I'm longing Is it you or your reflection in my mind? But I know now, what I am hoping for I'm building cages round my chest to leave you out To leave you To leave
