Build me in a fortress you've made out of petty things I will decide to bury my mind but you'll still think that you can read mine You can't read mine. I'm crying come and see this world is far too close for me to breathe in this air to swim in this sea I'm already uncomfortably close to nothing Close to nothing Count on all your feelings sparingly To me this earth moves much too slowly Come and find me in the house built from everything that you left out in suspense of whats to come Don't leave my finger on the gun Because I do believe in a world of what’s to come Should I find myself without anywhere to run turn me a servant into a make believe artist of uncommon dignities Uncommon dignities I'm not leaving without blood on my hands neck and face Put down a tragedy placed inside a makeshift ghost of me I'm trying to give these people something to fight about You're out of breath You're in denial You're acting now Play dumb a while You're out of breath You're in denial Play dumb Play dumb Play dumb and look down You're out of breath You're in denial You're acting now Force a smile Don’t expect them to direct their anger at anyone but you That’s right haven’t you heard? What they’ve been through Oh no how could you? I'm not leaving I'm not leaving without a war I'm not leaving
