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 dare ever escapes The labyrinth I built inside my brain Then when I'm all alone I sit and stare out the window into my soul Wonder if I was, wonder if I was Born to be water and stone A cynic with blood that runs cold And never knows What it feels like to be close Every second and every hour I take bricks and build the tower I use all my strength and power Just so I can hide and coward Every second and 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 you'll be safe Every second and every hour I take bricks and build the tower I use all my strength and power Just so I can hide and coward Every second and every hour I take bricks and build the tower Safe and sound, my life devoured I realize I am the tower Safe and sound, my life devoured I realize I am the tower
