fortress

I crossed the border
Thick lines you drew for me
You blamed my shadow
The past bleeds all over me

I'm a stranger in your eyes
Just a danger in disguise
But I'm an innocent who wants a better life
Throw me in your cage
Torture till I break
Clip my wings so I can never fly again

I packed my bags and
Left your home
Star stripes in my heart and
Flames to my hope
You built your walls
But I built my fortress
Goodbye to your kingdom
I'm a queen on my own

In the heat of the moment
It felt like my world was ending
A restless poet
Locked up for no rhyme or reason
Fell fast from the dream into a nightmare
Eyes open now I know where I stand
Lost the will to speak
So I turned the other cheek

I packed my bags and
Left your home
Star stripes in my heart and
Flames to my hope
You built your walls
But I built my fortress
Goodbye to your kingdom
I'm a queen on my own

I packed my bags and
Left your home
Star stripes in my heart and
Flames to my hope
You built your walls
But I built my fortress
Goodbye to your kingdom
I'm a queen on my own

I'm a stranger in your eyes
Just a danger in disguise
But I'm an innocent who wants a better life
Throw me in your cage
Torture till I break
Clip my wings so I can never fly again

I packed my bags and
Left your home
It's been a year
But I finally woke up
It's gonna be fine wherever I go
Heart on my sleeve and back on the road
