The Tower Neoni & Lydia the Bard

Oh-ah, ah-yeah
Oh-ah, ah-yeah
Oh-ah, ah-yeah
Yeah, ah
♪
High above the mountains
I lock my feelings up so tight
A thousand steps into the sky
Trapped in a prison behind my eyes
I put on my bravest face
Like all my troubles are miles away
Nothing there ever escapes
The Labyrinth I built inside my brain
♪
Then when I'm all alone
I stand and stare out the window
Into my soul and wonder if I was, wonder if I was
Born to be mortar and stone
A cynic with blood that runs cold
And never knows what it feels like to be close
♪
Every second, every hour
I take bricks and build the tower
I use all my strength and power
Just so I can hide and cower
Every second, every hour
I take bricks and build the tower
Safe and sound, my life devoured
I realize I am the tower
♪
I enjoy a white lie
Tell myself one for bed each night
Denial is my lullaby
And sings: "Make sure your walls stay high"
♪
So, when I wake for the day
I find more bricks and I gather clay
Delusions say: "Inside my fortress, I'll be safe"
♪
Every second, every hour
I take bricks and build the tower
I use all my strength and power
Just so I can hide and cower
Every second, every hour
I take bricks and build the tower
Safe and sound, my life devoured
I realize I am the tower
♪
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
♪
Safe and sound, my life devoured
I realize I am the tower
