Go ahead, saunter up and down the aisles Run your finger down the shelves where I carefully placed all the fears I hold But nowhere will you find that I fear walking this world in solitude For I am a King inside the mansion of all my 206 bones I am a shelter for myself I seek only myself I harbor love so passionate for myself, that I may burst like the death of a Star I sometimes gift wrap the World and place it on a silver platter, just for me But sometimes, when the Universe trembles and the angels cry I put my hands over my ears because the quiet gets a little too loud And when I sit on my throne and glance over my shoulder Your absence, I feel it a little too much

Fortress of solitude
Go ahead, saunter up and down the aisles Run your finger down the shelves where I carefully placed all the fears I hold But nowhere will you find that I fear walking this world in solitude For I am a King inside the mansion of all my 206 bones I am a shelter for myself I seek only myself I harbor love so passionate for myself, that I may burst like the death of a Star I sometimes gift wrap the World and place it on a silver platter, just for me But sometimes, when the Universe trembles and the angels cry I put my hands over my ears because the quiet gets a little too loud And when I sit on my throne and glance over my shoulder Your absence, I feel it a little too much
