Ivory Tower Lyrics

Roses I once smelled

Don't know where

Don't know when

Sweet sounds surround

Fragrance trapped within

Distance maintained

Safe from the lies

Like Sainte-Beuve's tour d'ivoire

That's where safety lies

Please don't think I'm wretched

I'm just remote

This freedom may not mean much

But it keeps me afloat

Right-side upright

I can only try

No "je ne sais quoi"

As I'm taking flight

Is madness full of music

Are windows for the blind

You can't find enlightenment

Until you can't find the light

Yves Saint Laurent

Should not even try

The sweet smell of roses

Can't be plagiarized
