[Verse 1: Mike Hranica]
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

[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
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

[Post-Chorus: Mike Hranica]
I'm off the streets
But still in your heart
I climbed the stairs
And we grew apart

[Verse 2: Mike Hranica]
(How could I let you go?)
Time will tell
I'm looking down, east towards the sea
Wondering what could've been you and me
Flashing though the night
[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster & Mike Hranica]
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
With everything to lose
I'm staying up in my tower
Kept in the corners away from you

[Bridge: Mike Hranica]
In spite of your love
I chose the distance
In spite of your warmth
I made it difficult
I chose the distance

[Outro: Mike Hranica]
I'm off the streets
But still in your heart
I climbed the stairs
And we grew apart
