Lyrics:
I had a fortress all pristine in blue
And the doorways were painted in red
Each tiny window, reflections of you
And the only way out was my head
Can you imagine my misunderstanding
I relied on relics and tunes
And no one said nothing
Til we saw your face on the news
I can make mountains where nothing there stands
And I can make many ado
Every stone is a missed altercation
Still every height is a view
I've stood in protest, thorns against roses
I don't mind, intentions are true
But no one said nothing
Til we saw your face on the news
I had it all figured out, I was right and they were wrong
I looked for the difference and I found the difference was gone
Over the decades and between the lines
Nothing has left me alone
I know that time passes, grows up and trespasses
And we've all got fears of our own
No need to ration a source of compassion
And anything less I refuse
Cause no one said nothing
Til we saw your face on the news
