Tower of Silence - Track 4

Chorus (distant)
We’re heading down
To find our sound
We’ll sing it loud
For those around
We once were lost
But now we’re found

Verse 1
So what’s wrong with me? What’s my problem?
Now I need to see, go down to the bottom
But I need you with me as I’m solvin’
‘Cause I can’t dig deep enough and keep hauling
Without you here to get a different view of this coffin
There’s no above or around
The only way is down
I don’t see a way through this door—what is it here for?
Is there a way to find a key? There must not be
Well then that’s when I start to wonder
If it’s better to just go under
To **** myself quietly
Or lose myself within the sound
Can I somehow go around, or sit here happily?
Either way I lost my sense of ground
Because we can’t just ignore the reason we’re bleeding for
But we adore to store it in our bones
Then I finally give in, to what could still be deception
But it’s the only way I see fit
Is the way that’s barely lit
So I head down the path I think is heading sound

Chorus
We’re heading down
To find our sound
We’ll sing it loud
For those around
We once were lost
But now we’re found

Verse 2
Demons come to me in the dark
I feel them stay as my mind departs
I don’t really know, what’s behind my skull
They talk too fast, and that’s all I know
I’ll sit here and let it soak in
Whatever they say, I’ll take it slow
Like I haven’t been
I stepped away from the sound
Get a level head and find some new ground
No noise to hide behind—thought I could think
But to my demise, I found what lies
Behind the space to get away—oh so terrifying
Turns out the silence is violent
And now I don’t think I can make a break
Oh, though fascinating
Can hardly keep it quiet, behind my mind
As I finally find the thoughts within my skin
Because the noise only allows thoughts at night
Now I can try to or I can let the silent win
But I will keep myself posted up on this Tower of Silence
Because there’s truth within the night—is what I find
So I will sit here, visited by kisses of reminisce
I will let the carrion come tonight
Stay in the dark until I find what has me torn apart
In hopes the quiet can shed some light
I just want to close my eyes
So I crawl back inside my mind
To see how far my thoughts will go to lie
Like my noose, I strangle the truth
Uncross my T’s, un-dot my I’s

Chorus
We’re heading down
To find our sound
We’ll sing it loud
For those around
We once were lost
But now we’re found

Bridge
My mind receives mores code
Messages most don’t know
Channeling things to me
Tell my I’m gone but no
Information I must take slow
Is anyone capable of listening?

Verse 3
I fear my imagination
I’m scared of my own creation
I don’t know what to do with my right side brain
It’s the addict to darkness I can’t keep contained
Could he ever benefit the world in some way?
I’m just falling around, wondering if I should keep him bound
Or if I should take off his chains
To hopefully cast your demons at bay
I desire to help others through what I write
But I fear I’d be returning to my dark plight
Because every time I go to jot something
I feel like I’m stumbling
I need to take a careful pace
Careful not to put myself in a hazy place
I still have a bad taste on my tongue
Of what I’ve gone through but I want His praise to be sung
I need to be careful so I can help you

Refrain
Start low, follow me down
Start low, follow me down
Start low, follow me down
Start low, follow me down

Break
(( Is anyone capable of listening? ))

Verse 4
Or maybe that’s the purpose, if it’s worth this
For me to keep returning, to go down so you don’t go under
To post myself on this tower to host His glory and power
So will you walk with me, my Kind, my brothers?
Will you take a look at the dead dark side of the moon to reach you sooner?
Fuel this fire, our hearts are yearning to be burning
I will stay with you, I will go
I will be here, I’ll stay the night
I will fight so we both see the light
You who are caught up in your darkest thoughts
And you believe your mind is all you got
It’s not just you, there’s another way through
We are not alone, our heads sick and our brains prone
So maybe what I’m trying to say
Is we’re messing up but that’s okay
Come down with me and we’ll find our way
So sing it with me if you know what I mean

Break
(( Messages most don’t know ))
(( Tell us we’re gone but no ))

Refrain
Start low, follow me down
Start low, follow me down
Start low, follow me down
Start low, follow me down

Chorus (x2)
We’re heading down
To find our sound
We’ll sing it loud
For those around
We once were lost
But now we’re found
