Architect Lyrics

[00:06.62] Every word you said runs around inside my head again
[00:10.31] Every conversation with myself, my God, a therapist
[00:13.85] No, you can't resist, you're the name of my apocalypse
[00:18.05] Thank the Lord, I didn't fall for it
[00:20.68] But something inside of me wants to change the earth
[00:22.65] Build my kingdom, watch it burn
[00:24.69] Chase a feeling, lift the curse
[00:26.42] Teachers told me I'd never learn
[00:28.18] I won't be the last, but you won't be the first
[00:29.83] Hit when I'm kneeling, do your worst
[00:32.58] 'Cause I'll take all your sticks and stones
[00:36.25] Turn 'em into miracles
[00:39.53] Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
[00:45.17] I'm never gonna want your pity
[00:48.67] Oh, no, no, look at you so cynical
[00:53.55] But if I let it go, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
[00:59.36] Who else is gonna build this city?
[01:03.46] 'Cause we are who we say we are
[01:08.05] And that's just fine
[01:12.16] 'Cause I was never gonna take them with me
[01:16.22] Sticks and stones
[01:18.29] Turn 'em into miracles
[01:21.43] Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
[01:26.95] Nobody else is gonna build my city
[01:40.44] Drag me through the dark, be the villain in my narrative
[01:44.18] Dance upon my scars, how I truly love your arrogance
[01:47.63] Future felt far 'til you opened up the door for it
[01:52.32] Oh, you opened up the door for it
[01:54.64] But something inside of me wants to change the earth
[01:56.90] Build my kingdom, watch it burn
[01:58.38] Chase a feeling, lift the curse
[02:00.47] Teachers told me I'd never learn
[02:01.82] I won't be the last, but you won't be the first
[02:03.83] Hit when I'm kneeling, do your worst
[02:06.42] 'Cause I'll take all your sticks and stones
[02:10.21] Turn 'em into miracles
[02:13.79] Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
[02:19.21] I'm never gonna want your pity
[02:22.43] Oh, no, no, look at you so cynical
[02:27.67] But if I let it go, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
[02:33.05] Who else is gonna build this city?
[02:36.22] Nothing is left, I'm letting you in
[02:38.22] Take what you want, take my lies, and my sin
[02:39.98] Knew you were staying, so I built a city
[02:41.39] Where all my shadows and demons can live
[02:43.40] Nothing is left, I'm letting you in
[02:44.83] Take what you want, take my lies, and my sin
[02:46.96] Knew you were staying, so I built a city
[02:48.36] Where all my shadows and demons can live
[02:50.39] Sticks and stones
[02:52.12] Turn 'em into miracles
[02:55.38] Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
[03:00.88] Nobody else is gonna build my city
[03:04.36] (Oh, oh)
[03:09.93] (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[03:17.93] Sticks and stones
[03:19.94] Turn 'em into miracles
[03:23.17] Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
[03:30.35]
