I'm calling this an emergency And I can't seem to match the pace, I'm beset by hate Confined by contingencies Can't you see the sirens racing? Flashing though the night I'm staying up in my tower Kept in the corners away from you Took away all of my power Kept in the dark with everything to lose I'm off the streets, but still in your heart I climbed the stairs, and we grew apart How could I let you go?
