[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
