My Cheer Fortress Of Solitude

[Verse 1] Cheerleader's need to cry too, When the weight of cheers, Go unanswered, And the slightly overweight Flyer, Gets too heavy for our shoulders. (She wasn't following the diet plan!) The crowd silent, Frozen and colder. [Verse 2] We all need to weep sometimes, When we feel we might die, Pass away from the hopelessness of being, A symbol for good, and hope. When the pedestal we're put upon is too high. [Chorus] I need to be alone, I need a little time to grieve. Sadness overcoming my senses. I escape to where I can lower, All my defences. My sadness will eventually fade, I recharge, until I'm reborn like a Phoenix, Pep renewed, In my cheer fortress of Solitude. [Verse 3] It's our curse, The one to be looked up to, As this city is getting worse. Torn apart by greed, drugs and gang wars, (Who'll bring the cheer?) Chaos rules, and blood pours. Evil growing into a cataclysmic, Unstoppable, dark and heavy, Suffocating force. And we stand against it, Often alone, With a pretty bow and a smile, This is often not the life, Or duty, We would have chose. "We just wanted to be cute, and wear ad-ora-ball clothes" (and look, like, totally hot of course) [Acapella Chorus] I need to be alone, I need a little time to grieve. Sadness overcoming my senses. I escape to where I can lower, All my defences. My sadness will eventually fade, I recharge, until I'm reborn like a Phoenix, [Bridge] I cheer because I love it, It brings me inner-peace, But sometimes the pressure, I'm unable to release, All this expectation. To be the good in you all, Sometimes gets right to me, And when I'm atop this pyramid, I cannot stumble, I cannot fall. [Chorus] I need to be alone, I need a little time to grieve. Sadness overcoming my senses. I escape to where I can lower, All my defences. My sadness will eventually fade, I recharge, until I'm reborn like a Phoenix, Pep renewed, In my cheer fortress of Solitude. Pep renewed, In my cheer fortress of Solitude.
