  I see seven towers, but I only see one way out

scream without raising your voice

Verse 3:

C
She runs through the streets with eyes painted red

Under a black belly of clouds in the rain

C
in through a doorway, she brings me

C
white gold and pearls stolen from the sea

she is raging she is raging and storm blows up in her eyes

suffer the needle chill,

She's running to stand,   still.
