lyrics
There is a fortress in my heart
I try to go there in my dream
aren’t any songs for me to sing
not in the fortress of my heart
Here comes the weight on me again
bone by piece I’m bricking me over
tier by tear,
I wave to you…
on my way down
most of my life
I was trained how
Just to lay down
and never ask why
I was trained how
Just to stay down
where its safe now - safe now
There’s a destroyer in my blood
who's handed down and waits for me
I have no air, I cannot breath
with the destroyer in my blood
Here comes the weight on me again
bone by piece I’m bricking me over
tier by tear,
I wave to you…
On my way down
most of my life
I’ve been trained how
Just to lay down
and never ask why
I stay down
where its safe now
am I safe now?
am I safe now?
Here in my citadel of self
I can be safe.
I try to go there in my dream
aren’t any songs for me to sing
not in the fortress of my heart
Here comes the weight on me again
bone by piece I’m bricking me over
tier by tear,
I wave to you…
on my way down
most of my life
I was trained how
Just to lay down
and never ask why
I was trained how
Just to stay down
where its safe now - safe now
There’s a destroyer in my blood
who's handed down and waits for me
I have no air, I cannot breath
with the destroyer in my blood
Here comes the weight on me again
bone by piece I’m bricking me over
tier by tear,
I wave to you…
On my way down
most of my life
I’ve been trained how
Just to lay down
and never ask why
I stay down
where its safe now
am I safe now?
am I safe now?
Here in my citadel of self
I can be safe.

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thousupported by 1044 fans who also own “Citadel”
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately.

SINNER GET READY
by LINGUA IGNOTAsupported by 658 fans who also own “Citadel”
If you feel like mist that graciously draws edges silken, as bitter clouds burst in droplets – a burnt hand would warily seek their comforting warmth – to let you wash your shame in tears; luxuriously tonguing atonement&salt , then this is what I recommend to you.
