The Hatchet

from Tower by Leonardo's Robot

/

lyrics

Ten thousand steps in silence—
You emerge like something new
From the throat you fled through
Oh so long ago.

And here the bricks are breathing.
They whisper in your voice,
And speak to
All your hungry doubts.

But don’t stop.


Be quick, don’t stop, keep running
Keep your head on straight, don’t stop, they’re comin
Keep your head down, quick, don’t stop, keep running
Keep your head on straight, don’t stop, they’re coming


It’s been such a long time.
He never thought he’d find you here,
But there you are on camera
Running [down/up] the stairs

It’s been a long time coming,
Ever since you stole yourself away
He swings and clips you hard.

But don’t stop.

//chorus

At the extremities
It’s all flattened out.
A superimposition:
The button and the ledge.
So do you jump clear?
Or do you bring it down?
Is there a difference?
You’re losing blood, now,
Keep your head, be quick they’re coming,
Keep your head.
