Louder and louder, ever louder A voice rings out in song in my tower of pain Who is that there Clinging to the top? I collected the small pains I wanted to throw away but couldn't I put them all away And filled the first box It's not painful now If someone's looking, that is Is this too much to be forgiven? Enough to be treated a little kindly I collected things I threw away and things I found And stack up the full boxes Looking sidelong at passers-by I stacked up the tenth box Oh, so that's not enough Nobody seems to be looking I've got to make it even taller, then So the whole world can see Higher and higher, ever higher My tower of pain that birds can reach I climb up to the top Who the hell am I to feel like a king? I looked down at the curious onlookers Gaping up at me They look like ants from here I stacked up the hundredth box Ladies and gentlemen This is my pain I'm up so high Your consolation can't reach me I know I'm special Everyone's looking up at me I was chosen by a lonely god To come up here Higher and higher, ever higher My tower of pain will reach the clouds I sit cross-legged at the top A king who feels like he's a god All I can hear is the wind I stacked up the thousandth box Looking down made me dizzy My ladder fell down Then I really felt lonely Like no one was looking at me I was so scared I couldn't speak Then suddenly I heard the hammer song Knocking each one down in order Someone was singing a hammer song Everyone wants to talk to you Come down to the same level Louder and louder, ever louder A voice rings out in song in my tower of pain Clinging to the top Is a god with a runny nose Just me, feeling like a god Just me, upside down That's the truth Who is it?
