lyrics

Queen in a fortress ….Queen in a fortress... Deep in a forest....

All the windows and doors ….locked up safe and secure

So that I can be sure.... Nothing upsetting will get in

Holding tight to the match, lit the flickering flame in the cold

I believe myself when I say “I’ll never grow old”

Cause

I’m a queen in a fortress... queen in a fortress….Deep in a forest…

I can eat bowls of oranges,

mouthfuls from mugs of warm milk

But no, my feast is my fingernails,

bit down raw to the spicy quick

Is that knocking.......?

Hold the gates, bar the doors

Scrape the furniture across the floors

Crawl behind the curtain on all fours to the sound of the madness

Trying to get in calling to get in knocking to get in trying to get in calling to get in calling to get in knocking to get in trying to get in calling to get in trying to get in

Will you swallow me whole?

WIll you set me ablaze?

Obliterating, dissipating, and disolving me down?

I don’t want to fall apart!

But I could use a fresh start....

I don’t want to fall apart... but I could choose a new start now...

Start Now! Start Now! Start Now!

Sneak a peek as a feel my center churning

Knees get weak as I feel the key in my fingers turning

Gasp a breath, let out a laugh HA

I gag, I heave, I bend in half!

I don’t want to fall apart!

But I could use a fresh start now

I don’t want to fall apart but I could choose a new start now..

Start Now...

I can be anyone this time around

I once was lost but now I am found

I’m every YOU I've ever known

Erase my face and step down from my throne!

Singing: “I’m Important, I deserve this, I am worth this, I’m important”

I’m leaving my fortress leaving my fortress

Deep in the forest, deep in the forest...

Hello! Beautiful Sunshine
