Towers of Sorrow

[Intro] [Verse 1] You're still awake at half past two Staring holes through the air above you One more list of what could break One more task you cannot shake I know that look, I've seen it bloom Like bad weather in the bedroom [Pre-Chorus] And it's got you by the throat Before a single thing goes wrong [Chorus] These towers of sorrow You keep raising in the dark Brick by brick every bad scenario, know what I mean? Till you vanish in between Why don't you Lay it on me? lay it on me! That's what our vows are supposed to mean [Verse 2] You talk like if you don't hold tight Our whole lives might come off their lines So you stay ahead of this losing game Try to name it, tame it, take the blame But I can hear it in your voice You're so tired of all the noise [Pre-Chorus] And I know I can't ease a mind that's running wild [Chorus] These towers of sorrow You keep raising in the dark Brick by brick every bad scenario, know what I mean? Till you vanish in between Why don't you Lay it on me? lay it on me! That's what our vows are supposed to mean [Bridge] I see you counting cracks up in the paint I hear you rumage around at night I won't tell you it's all in your head I know those words go over dead But I can stay And I can listen Till the night gives up a little [Break] [Final Chorus] These towers of sorrow Maybe I can't pull them down Maybe love won't fix the spinning When your mind won't quiet down But lay it on me, lay it on me That's what our vows are supposed to mean [Outro] That's what our vows are supposed to mean
