Towers

Bold statements that are not what they seem Words piled on top of words While meaning seethes beneath I work my fingers through your bones I sink my teeth down into stone 'Cause in the corners of your eyes I see dark towers I see towers Give me the rage, the blood and truth Not fucking platitudes I want it all, and you will come to love that attitude You should fear me most when I'm on my knees for you On my true name and on my crown I swear I'll bring those towers down Hopes, dreams and pleasure so sternly set apart Deep in the shadows where stasis quells the heart I dip my fingers in your time I slip my toes across the line 'Cause in the corners of your eyes I see those towers I see dark towers Give me the joy, the hate, the tears, not fucking platitudes I want it all, and you will come to love that attitude You should fear me most when I'm on my knees for you On my true name and on my crown I swear I'll burn those towers to the ground The goddamn towers in your eyes The wasting fortress that you hide behind Where you are spellbound, deaf and blind Stale world sways beneath you Pale thoughts worm your mind through Clinging on to what defeats you You're hiding. But I see you I see you So give me everything, the lust, the lies, the days you lose I want you whole, alive and present in a world that moves I see the towers rise, the fear in your eyes, your heart And I'm telling you On my name and on my crown I swear I'll burn those towers to the ground Rip the scales from your eyes Tear stone from stone the walls you hide behind And I won't promise I'll be kind But I will bring those towers down
