Fortress

(Verse 1)

The engine hums, a steady sound

A fortress where my fears are bound

The struggle is real, more real than I admit

Behind this wheel, where my composure sits

I drive... I cry...

And pull over to wipe the tears away

More often than not, too many times to count

Just another day

(Chorus)

When will it stop, this spiraling down?

I swear I'm at my best

Surely this is just a test

Feeling low for some reason, not sure why

The sky is gray, the air has a little chill

The voice inside says, "Just be still..."

This will be dismissed

(Verse 2)

The scenery blurs, a passing frame

Each mile marker feels the same

I won't allow you, or anyone, to see

The weight that's sitting here with me

In this seat... this retreat...

A blur of green and concrete, street by street

Holding on tight to a solitary peace

Waiting for release

(Chorus)

When will it stop, this spiraling down?

I swear I'm at my best

Surely this is just a test

Feeling low for some reason, not sure why

The sky is gray, the air has a little chill

The voice inside says, "Just be still..."

This will be dismissed

(Bridge)

Is it the weather in my soul?

A temporary loss of control?

A silent story, left untold

Trying to brave the quiet cold

Just be still... just be still...

Hold fast until the calm descends

This is not where the story ends

(Outro)

I drive... I cry...

And wipe the tears away...

The sky is gray...

Has a little chill...

Just be still...

This will be dismissed.

This will be... dismissed.
