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

The Tower-Vienna Teng

       


The tower's lyric
August 10th 2009

  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 that 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 flower trying to bloom in snow

  she turns out the light anticipating night falling
  tenderly around her
  and watches the dusk
  the words won't come
 
  she carries the act 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
 
  reach out
  but hold back
  where is safety
  reach out
  and hold back
  where is the one who can change me
  where is the one
  the one
  the one
