The Tower
Nothing can prepare you
For the shock, for the blast
Hiding in denial
Never thinking of the past
You shield yourself in silence
No responsibility
Numb mainstream reliance
Smiling in complicity
Sentries at your doorstep
Protect your gilded throne
Upholding your corruption
Is all they've ever known
Someday soon they'll realise
The truth will set them free
And drag you from your tower
Into reality
But you never ventured out
Never stepped beyond your walls
Never considered for a second
Just how far you'd have to fall
It's too late for reparations
When the walls come crashing down
You can never go back
You can never go back
You can never go back
Why did you hide for so long
Until you had no choice?
Self righteous condescension
Left them without a voice
Did you think you'd never have to answer
For what you did
When you bottled it all up
And scoffed and laughed and joked and hid?
But you never ventured out
Never stepped beyond your walls
Never considered for a second
Just how far you'd have to fall
It's too late for reparations
Now the walls are crashing down
You can never go back
You can never go back
You can never go back
For the shock, for the blast
Hiding in denial
Never thinking of the past
You shield yourself in silence
No responsibility
Numb mainstream reliance
Smiling in complicity
Sentries at your doorstep
Protect your gilded throne
Upholding your corruption
Is all they've ever known
Someday soon they'll realise
The truth will set them free
And drag you from your tower
Into reality
But you never ventured out
Never stepped beyond your walls
Never considered for a second
Just how far you'd have to fall
It's too late for reparations
When the walls come crashing down
You can never go back
You can never go back
You can never go back
Why did you hide for so long
Until you had no choice?
Self righteous condescension
Left them without a voice
Did you think you'd never have to answer
For what you did
When you bottled it all up
And scoffed and laughed and joked and hid?
But you never ventured out
Never stepped beyond your walls
Never considered for a second
Just how far you'd have to fall
It's too late for reparations
Now the walls are crashing down
You can never go back
You can never go back
You can never go back
