Fortress of Silence

[Verse 1]

Every doorway now a fortress

Every face a screen-lit wall

Backs turned on the neighbor's sorrow

Silence is the loudest call

[Pre-Chorus]

We built our walls so high

We forgot the sky

Now the ground is giving way

[Chorus]

We let the world go cold

We let the cracks grow wide

Each one locked inside

A dying world we hold

We let the bridges burn

We never learned to turn

And now we fade alone

[Verse 2]

Streets that used to hum with voices

Now they echo empty air

Hands that once could lift a burden

Stay folded in a private prayer

[Pre-Chorus]

We built our walls so high

We forgot the sky

Now the ground is giving way

[Chorus]

We let the world go cold

We let the cracks grow wide

Each one locked inside

A dying world we hold

We let the bridges burn

We never learned to turn

And now we fade alone

[Bridge]

Reach out

Reach out

Before the last light goes

Reach out

Reach out

There's nothing left to lose

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

We let the world go cold

We let the cracks grow wide

Each one locked inside

A dying world we hold

We let the bridges burn

We never learned to turn

And now we fade alone

And now we fade alone
