[Intro]
Oh-ah, ah-yeah
Oh-ah, ah-yeah
Oh-ah, ah-yeah
Yeah, ah
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Every second, еvery hour
I take bricks and build the towеr
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Now the air is getting thin
The clouds, they dance and my head spins
But if I stop what I'm building
My feelings might just catch up then
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll crumble back to the Earth
A pile of rubble and dirt
What will all this have been worth?
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
Safe and sound, my life devoured
I realize I am the tower
