Life is complicated, things don't go as planned
People act in ways that I don't understand
It all came crashing down through no fault of my own
Think it's time I build a fort all by myself alone

I tried to fit in and they told me I could nort
The outside world is overrated by a lot
I might as well just run and hide until I'm fully grown
Here I go, I'll build a fort all by myself alone
Here I go, I'll build a fort all by myself alone

Gonna use some bedsheets
And some pillows
And some folding chairs
And I won't answer
When Mom calls me
From upstairs

[Whistle break]

I'll use that jar or that gnarly extension cord
Make a drawbridge with that dry-eraser board
I'll use whatever this dumb junk room hands me
Man, it sucks that there is no one who really understands me
(Who really understands me)
I'll be the only person who's allowed inside
And if you try to enter, you will be denied
There's no outsiders here, I'll make that ruling known
Now that I have built a fort all by myself alone

I'm not answering your email and I'm throwing out my phone
Now I live in my fort all by myself alone
(Myself alone, myself alone)
Now I live in my fort all by myself alone
(Myself alone, myself alone)
Just myself
In my fort
All by myself, alone
