Fortress of Perfection

Hear the click and drop the light
Watch my world go up on flames
Orange blaze fueled by laughter of critics
And the world, it laughs
At me

Watch years melt
Let walls of deceit burn into ash
Let heated cinders scar my soul
Never good enough through your eyes.

Take my hands and watch them bleed
Peal this skin of pain away
Take my hands and build a new world
From only the ash that remains.

I\'ll build my fortress of perfection
Pray not to be judged
And hope this new me maybe
Won\'t be so different from everyone.
