The Califloridian - Fortress (feat. Mark Lewis Ferber)

I look away when I see you
Because I'm too afraid to lose
My ability to be me all-way-through
And I feel lost again who even knew
I wish I had the strength to just
Walk up to you and not be stressed
But I fear I will act way too dumb
And I can't just move to another one
I wanna be your fortress
But can't get through the chorus
Hello, hello, here's another verse
It can't get worse
Yeah right, try and rehearse
This doesn't end well
Some of us end up in a hearse
Or on a bed with a doctor and nurse
What a curse
But I'd rather be dead
Or be hurt with bloodshed
Than be stuck in the back
Looking for you instead
Yet here I am
And I was never wrong
And I never left
Like I said in that song
I look away when I see you
Because I'm too afraid to lose
My ability to be me all-way-through
And I feel lost again who even knew
I wish I had the strength to just
Walk up to you and not be stressed
But I fear I will act way too dumb
And I can't just move to another one
I wanna be your fortress
But can't get through the chorus
Yeah I speak 'bout things, and I don't even know em
And I freak 'bout swings, so I don't even throw em
But now I realized that I lost out on love
And I don't know how I can find a way above
I look away when I see you
Because I'm too afraid to lose
My ability to be me all-way-through
And I feel lost again who even knew
I wish I had the strength to just
Walk up to you and not be stressed
But I fear I will act way too dumb
And I can't just move to another one
I wanna be your fortress
But can't get through the chorus
I remember the days I could bike in the street
I remember the ways I could find something sweet
But nothing good stays
As all things are just a phase
But a memory lasts forever
No matter how hard it weighs
This right here is so simple
But my thoughts scramble like a maze
I know it's all just a phase
Because one day I will be raised
From the mortal grass that I have grazed
But there's something far away that I praise
For my mind is unfruitful
But my true spirit prays
You see there's so much more to life
Than just going on your way
So just sit back and stay
Don't try and delay
Your happiness and health
Your friendship is your wealth
And nothing can separate
You from what you know is fake
Alright, I think that's a wrap
You know what
That's not a wrap
I got too much on my mind now
I can't just finish
I wish I had grown up
I wish I had grown up
So I could show you every single thing I accomplished since then
But I never even
Knew all the things that I
Was gonna have to go around and teach myself to endure
But I know you're still there
Right by my spirit side
I need to look alive
Before my time is too late
And I never even knew
What it meant to be real and
I sure hope you aren't upset
But I never even
Knew all the things that I
Was gonna have to go around and teach myself to endure
But I know you're still there
Right by my spirit side
I need to look alive
Before my time is too late
