Tower
Andrew Belle Lyrics

How the fog hangs above
The fog is suspended over the cityscape

The cityscape
The cityscape is the view of the city's buildings and skyline

There's a cloud of angels
An imaginary group of winged beings hover above the bed tonight

Above your bed tonight
They float over your bed tonight

I'm watching through the window
I'm observing by looking out through a window

On the fire escape
I'm standing on the structure outside the building that provides a means of escape in case of a fire

By the line weighing your laundry
Near the string of clothes hanging out to dry

There's ripples in the bed sheets
The fabric of the sheets on the bed are billowing

Like waves in a sea
They look like the waves of an ocean

From every breath you're taking
The waves of the sheet correspond to your every breath

I'm walking a tight rope
I'm cautiously walking on a suspended cable, taut enough to provide balance but not support beneath my feet

Above the city, city
I'm walking above the city skyline

Cars are passing by
Automobiles are moving on the road beneath me

Beneath my feet, oh feet, oh
The traffic is moving beneath me

I'm wanting you to walk with me
I long for you to walk beside me

Oh to walk with me on this wire
To join me on this precarious cable

From tower to tower
Across the stride between two buildings

When the dusk settles in
At the end of the day, when the light fades

The torture begins
The emotional agony starts

In my chest, the fire won't rest
My heart is burning with unrelenting emotions

From the secrets that we kept
Due to the mysteries we both maintained

There's a symphony of sirens
A mixture of emergency sirens plays out

Down on the street
In the streets below

And all of the noise makes my ears ring
The sounds are deafening and make my ears vibrate

These syncopated lights
The pulsating lights in a rhythmical pattern

Have convinced my eyes
Seeing these lights has convinced me

That I've become hypnotized
That I'm now in a trance-like state
