In the tower of silence
Left for the vultures to find us
To peck what's left of our patience

In the tower of silence
You say you're writing to say how the house is sinking
How all of the cost is amazing
Hope I'm doing ok up in my building

When they pick me apart with their beaks, I know one thing
They'll leave hungry for sympathy
They won't find that bone inside of me

Up in my building
You can barely tell this was ever a wall
You can hardly see this was ever a building
There's no dollar amount that is about to change things
It's too late to get out, birds are already circling

Up the side you can try to climb
I might be gone once you arrive
I've been up there such a long time
I can't say what you might find
