lyrics

I finally got that letter
But I know it's not for me
It's for the man I wanted to be
& everything he wanted

Is encased in cursive lettering upside a spiral staircase
but you walk on through the steps

& these promises don't get better
They just keep on getting longer
& I'm trying to walk above them
So why are my feet still on the ground?

I remember once you said

To climb the tower of infinity you gotta bleed just right
You gotta live by all mistakes cause that's your life
it's the only way to keep your sanity aligned

Well I believed in something, isn't that good enough?
No they keep on coming back & wanting more
But it's all lies
Cause you gotta be someone to be something
I wasted all my time on a broken radio

But I remember once you said

To climb the tower of infinity you gotta bleed just right
You gotta live by all mistakes cause that's your life

It's the only way to keep things right
It's the only way to stay alive
Cause the tower of infinity burns tonight

& I know there's more
My body won't be broken
My soul is still me

It's the only way to keep things right
It's the only way to stay alive
Cause the tower of infinity burns tonight
