These lyrics are from the song "The Tower," written and performed by the amazing Vienna Teng (i.e., they do not belong to me). I think it describes Serena's character perfectly, especially at the end of Season 2 of STC. Here are the lyrics and a YouTube vid of the song if you'd like to listen to it (which you definitely should):
the one who survives by making the lives of others worthwhile she's coming apart right before my eyes the one who depends on the services she renders to those who come knocking she's seeing too clearly what she can't be what understanding defies she says I need not to need or else a love with intuition someone who reaches out to my weakness and won't let go I need not to need I've always been the tower but now I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in snow she turns out the light anticipating night falling tenderly around her and watches the dusk the words won't come she carries the act so convincingly the fact is sometimes she believes it that she can be happy the way things are be happy with the things she's done reach out but hold back where is safety reach out and hold back where is the one who can change me where is the one the one the one reach out but hold back where is safety reach out and hold back where is the one who can save me where is the one the one |
