the girl in a tower

[[ Listening to women. ]]

this incandescent light

these glowing coils

they make you seem 

a different creature

now I will listen 

to stories you tell

you always have another

a story to tell

tell me the story of 

the girl in a tower

of numbers and glass

the girl who never goes home

tell me the story of 

the girl in a box

with no air or sun

the girl who never goes home

tell me the story of 

the girl who grows old 

in the house an ogre

the girl who never leaves home

it's here already

when you know it's coming

you make a wish 

and blow them all out

you make a wish

and blow them away

then there is time 

for one more murder

one more little

stopping of the heart
