Torre de Marfil

Questions like how I'm doing
I'm good, thanks
I don't have time, let's talk another day

I turn around and
Without a trace, I run home
Wishing for solitude

I cross the wall
Unbutton the day
And toss it in the corner

Its walls of smiles
My ivory tower

I can smell it on my skin
It's part of my being
It's called fear
It's always been loyal

The windows are
My eyes that let me see
What I could have been

I cross the wall
Without resentment
I search for how to exist

I crumble behind smiles
My ivory tower

I crumble behind smiles
My ivory tower
A refuge of smiles
Just for me

The smile protects me
My ivory tower
