Hey everybody. This is my first post. Tell me what you think of it. The tune for these lyrics is pretty fast and energetic ("happy" sounding). I'd liken it to a Ben Folds-style melody. Please tell me what you think!
I am building my fortress
I am running away
I can’t be here any longer
I’m not welcome to stay
I don’t want you to see me like this
Unraveled and afraid
Of showing how I really feel in here
And besides it’s nearly fully made
Of sticks and stones, sticks and stones
You will never break my bones, break my bones
You will never infiltrate, infiltrate
What I’ve chosen to create, to create
The TV told me I can’t cry here
The TV told me to wait
It said to make the best of situations
(And to buy all of its products, buy all of its products)
What the hell was I thinking?
I shouldn’t be upset
Just numb myself with jokes and make-believe
But why can’t I forget?
Why can’t I forget?
BRIDGE:
Take me back to the Paradise City
Of sentiment and sympathy
I’ve no patience for waiting in an empty parking lot
Do you remember when I was five
I would cry to make me feel alive
But I guess that’s out of style
Hardcore!

There will be another verse, but I'm going to write it later. Just give me your thoughts on this portion, please! Thanks.
