Lyrics of the tower by Shi Yixin

The one who survives by making the lives

of others worthwhile

She's coming apart

right before my eyes

The one who depends on the services she renders

to those who come knocking

She's seeing too clearly what she can't be

What understanding defies

she says I need not to need

or else a love with intuition

Someone who reaches out to my weakness and won't let go

I need not to need

I've always been the tower

But now I feel like I'm the flowers trying to bloom in snow

She turns off the light, anticipating night falling tenderly around her

and watches the dusk

The words won't come

She carries the axe so convincingly, the fact is

sometimes she believes it

That she can be happy the way things are

be happy with the things she's done

She says I need not to need

or else a love with intuition

Someone who reaches out to my weakness and won't let go

I need not to need

I've always been the tower

But now I feel like I'm the flowers trying to bloom in snow

reach out hold back

where is safety

reach out and hold back

Where is the one who can change me

Where is the one

The one a... a....a...

Reach out hold back

where is safety

reach out

and hold back

Where is the one who can save me

Where is the one

The one a...a...a...

I need not to need

or else a love with intuition

Someone who reaches out to my weakness and won't let go

I need not to need

I've always been the tower

But now I feel like I'm the flowers trying to bloom in snow

I feel I like I'm the flowers trying to bloom in snow

The danger and the power, The friend and the foe
