you built me a tower
filled with walls
walls with gleaming colors
floors shine like pearls
as you leave me with a foundation
made of glass
cracking
day by day they crack
as you build more levels to the tower

advertising hope
strength
a tower that brings suffering
and dept
a dept to myself
my body
my heart
a dept so grand it might as well fall
a dept so grand
I pay you with my energy
a grey tower
no longer glowing in the darkness
beaming through the dark sky

grey tower
cold and frail
cracking
glass
a grey tower
getting taller and taller
my grey tower
