[Verse 1]
It’s pointless to try and touch me
I cannot be taken by surprise
In the darkness, in the daylight
Everybody lies
[Chorus]
I build it alone
However much force it takes to make it hold
I build it alone
I put a stone on each grave, below
[Verse 2]
Nothing inside is going to survive
But the fortress is built to last
Layers of cement on top of layers of rot
Oh, where do my photographs go?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We all lose some pieces in the autumn and we watch as the river carries them out to sea
Every season I’ve endured, I’ve learned that I should never, ever look away
[Chorus]
