The Tower

There's a line of speech inside us, each is different yet the same 
 And it lies in wait, to shine, to say 'it's over' once again 
 It seems to me, such a tragedy, that love should have to end 
 So I've learned to see just 'I and me' my one and only friend 


 It's a tribute to the thousands, who have loved and lost in vain 
 Love is born and yet to my regret, it always dies in pain 
 It seems to me, that reality has let me down again 
 As the daylight sleeps, the silence greets my one and only friend 
 My one and only friend, my one and only friend 


 You bring me down, you never listen to a single word I say 
 I'm just an echo in your ears, you cast away 
 Once again, to a long forgotten place inside your heart 
 But I know it's not the same 


 For even now, you never ever clear a space or time for me 
 In spite of everything, I've loved you faithfully 
 Can't you see, that I thought my love was safe inside your heart 
 Don't you throw it all away 


 When I scream inside, I scream to god, I scream 'don't tease me anymore' 
 When I scream inside, I scream 'I'm only made of flesh and bone' 
 When I scream inside, I scream to god, I scream 'don't bleed me anymore' 
 When I scream inside, I scream 'I'll perish, I will turn to stone' 
 Be anything, but all alone 


 You can be cruel, I knew you'd welcome every chance to break the rules 
 And when you're running out of broken-hearted fools 
 Then you're gone, like an apparition feeding on the hearts 
 That you break along the way 


 I couldn't see, it's only now I realise what blind can be 
 And now you've finally overstepped the line for me 
 We were one, but I'm better off without you from now on 
 Say goodbye, don't hesitate 


 When I scream inside, I scream to god, I scream 'don't tease me anymore' 
 When I scream inside, I scream 'I'm only made of flesh and bone' 
 When I scream inside, I scream to god, I scream 'don't bleed me anymore' 
 When I scream inside, I scream 'I'll perish, I will turn to stone' 
 Be anything, but all alone 


 When I scream inside, I scream to god, I scream 'don't tease me anymore' 
 When I scream inside, I scream 'I'm only made of flesh and bone' 
 When I scream inside, I scream to god, I scream 'don't bleed me anymore' 
 When I scream inside, I scream 'I'll perish, I will turn to stone' 
 Be anything, but all alone 


 What a world is this when joy and bliss turn sour just the same? 
 It's a precipice, a final kiss extinguishes the flames 
 In a carnival of a life where the excitement never ends 
 Just for now I'll sit in silence with my one and only friend 
 My one and only friend 
 My one and only friend
