Lyrics

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
