Snow Atop the Tower

A mind is often clouded by its thinking

but my thinking has never been this clear

Now I speak from the window of my memory

in the tower of regret and misery

I can deform figures and faces

I can make a square fit into a sphere

I cannot hold you for much longer

for one of us is bound to set us free

The summer hot has melted your connections

and Christmas in this side of the world

has frozen my sight

still I'm not completely blind

Snow atop the tower once more

Snow atop the tower once more

Yesterday was surely on a hurry

It happened for a while and then was gone

How can I even know if it was real or not?

How many days remaining have I got?

The winds of disbelief are always howlin'

They're blurring that fine line on your cheeks

They've strucked down all reasonable guarantees

that this is that and that is this

They've murdered the child that I was carrying

and buried him somewhere along the shore

For all that's good and right

lies a bed of silver white

Snow atop the tower once more

Snow atop the tower once more

An image of my love is flying towards me

She's changed and so have I and so have you

We're not the names and titles we pretend to be

We stop playing this game and then we're screwed

I lost her track on a night just like this

A vision of her smile is all I've got

But I'm aware that phantoms come with promises

and idolized reflections on the spot

I swore next time I wouldn't kill the messenger

and there he is, lying on the floor

of my fifteen meter high castle

way above the sky

Snow atop the tower once more

Snow atop the tower once more

The roof will give way any day now, certainly

and nobody will see to build it back

But I'm in love with ruins, decay and certainty

I'll be around to contemplate the cracks

I'll close my fist and I'll withstand the elements

I'll fight my way down to the nearest town

I'll learn about their history and developments

I'll get a job and live with my head down

Yet while I can I sleep with my eyes open

and daydream of the things that went before

Outside they're wagin' war

and now they're knockin' on my door

Snow atop the tower once more

Snow atop the tower once more
