Her Tower (unfinished song)

She's up in her tower
Where she can cower
Away from this place

She'll have no shame
She won't play your game
Drops out of the race

She cannot live here
For nothing can give here
What she craves

Mortar and stone
Means living alone
Sin that saves

No one can slave her
Cause no one will brave her
Rocky walls

She's no need for fear
And that one lonesome tear
Never falls

She hides herself
On a secret shelf
You'll never find

And she'll never know
The love that you show
Both are blind

As the wind blows, her tower sways in the night
When the storm breaks, her eyes will capture the light

The treetops will scratch at her window, but she'll turn away
The moonlight shines down as her own thoughts, hopeless, decay

She drowns out her head by counting the rug's fraying threads
Entrapped with herself, the true thing she actually dreads
