The Tower (XVI)

Verse I

You build your walls

Underneath your narrow bones

You build your walls until

no lives matter but your own

Those walls soar

higher and higher until

My life is cheap

Chorus

Your walls become the tower

As high as

your grand design

betrays you

So safe (so high)

in the blue and white (until)

The flames (the fires rise)

burn away

Your perfect world

Verse II

You build your walls

beyond all reason

Trapped within your walls

with the demons

that possess you

Those precious walls soar

You scan below and see

no human life

Chorus

Your walls become the tower

As high as

your grand design

betrays you

So safe (so high)

in the blue and white (until)

The flames (the fires rise)

burn away

Your perfect world

Verse III

As quick as the lightening

flash opens their eyes

Let the weak and afflicted

pull down the sky

Winds of change

Unify

sets the world’s suicide

To resist, to be heard

only leads to

self-destruction

self-destruction

Let the weak and afflicted

pull down the sky

with the strength and the force

of what

despair turns into

My

way is anger

My

way is danger

My

way is anger

My

way is danger

My

Self-destruct

Self-destruct

Self-destruct

Self-destruction

Give me some more

Self-destruction

Self-destruction

Self-destruction

Swallow the terror

Our broken faults

Scorch the earth
