Lyrics
The Tower
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The one who survives by making the lives
Of others worthwhile
She's coming apart
Tight before my eyes
The one who depends on the services she renders
To those who come knocking
She's seeing too clearly what she can't be
What understanding defies
She says I need not to need
Or else a love with intution
Someone who reaches out to my weakness
And won't let go
I need not to need
I've always been the tower
But now I feel like the flower trying to bloom in the snow
She turns up the light
Anticipating night falling tenderly around her
Watches the dusk
The words won't come
She carries the act so convincingly
The fact is sometimes she believes it
She can be happy with the way things are
Be happy with the things she's done
And yet I need not to need
Or else a love with intution
Someone who reaches out to my weakness
And won't let go
I need not to need
I've always been the tower
But now I feel like the flower trying to bloom in the snow
Reach out, hold back
Where is safety
Reach out and hold back
Where is the one who can change me
Where is the one
The one
Reach out, hold back
Where is safety
Reach out and hold back
Where is the one who can save me
Where is the one
The one
I need not to need
Or else a love with intution
Someone who reaches out to my weakness
And won't let go
I need not to need
I've always been the tower
But now I feel like the flower trying to bloom in the snow
I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in the snow
The danger and the power
Friend and the foe
