Tower, Tower Lyrics
We are your captive audience
Harbouring truths we confess
Only to damp, dark sins
And oh we’re so open handed
We command the English language
To paint your mountain face
There’s lights in the sky above us
Your chorus of clouds and rusted violins
Haunts like little endings
Waiting for you there
If you should cower
Do you think you are the spider
Do you think these hands are bound together
In this web of words
But atop the highest snow peak
This tower of tower’s cogs squeak
Making your blood turn grey
(Chorus)
And she sits atop the tower
Your warring of words gets smashed into bits
Haunts like little engines
Waiting for you there
If you should cower
I am your tower tower
I’ll be your outer shell
I watch your thoughts
Crumble through your teeth
Sharp and white
Inside dark sheets
Lies one fierce girl
Filled with bees and fire
How her black eyes look like mine
When my mouth runs out of stories
And these eyelids slide
Build me a stone tower
Where my boy can lie soundlessly

Love this song, and I'm glad someone was able to decipher the lyrics. The "snow peak" part always gives me the chills
