fortresses of stone, turn into crystal tears

soothed by southern winds; i've found my strength now

and nobody knows, and we must keep their secret

mercy, mercy i've been caught

lying with my darkest thought

they grabbed my wings

and pinned me to the wall

jesus christ you have confused me

cornered, wasted, blessed and used me

hard without you being here

much easier with you near

well the drunken clown's still hanging 'round

but it's plain the laughter's all died down

the tears you tried so hard to hide

are flowin'

take me somewhere i can grow

give me something let me go

tell me something i don't know
