Tower


You built yourself a tower, to hide yourself away

And you built yourself a dragon out of paper-mâché

All the knights run away in the opposite direction

While you wither away beneath your mind’s protection

You wish that a prince would come and save the day

But for now you’ll pretend that your heart is okay
