[Verse 1]
             
Your heart is

You keep your 

              
feelings locke

     
d away
             
Is it easier?

    
              
Does it make y

               
ou feel safe?
             
You wander thr

          
ough the darkn

ess
             
Of wilderness 

            
behind your ey

es
             
I know you’re 

         
afraid
              
But you gotta 

           
move on

[Chorus 1]
             
Every fortress
