The Architect of Collapse

[Verse 1] The midnight mercury is rising in the gauge I’m like a feral animal inside a cage You press your frozen lips against my burning neck Trying to piece together this psychological wreck But there’s a sirens’ chorus echoing upstairs Arranging funerals for things that aren't there [Chorus] And I am drowning in the middle of a drought A twisted masterpiece of sabotage and doubt We are the architects of a collapsing paradise Paying the ultimate, unholy human price I worship you with every shattered bone I own But in this crowded room I’ve never been so alone [Verse 2] The satellites are falling down like heavy rain They’re rewriting the DNA inside my brain I see a green field waiting in the centuries ahead But then a sudden paralyzing panic paints it red Who said your name?! ...There’s nobody in the hall Just the industrial shadow stretching up the wall [Chorus] And I am drowning in the middle of a drought A twisted masterpiece of sabotage and doubt We are the architects of a collapsing paradise Paying the ultimate, unholy human price I worship you with every shattered bone I own But in this crowded room I’ve never been so alone [Bridge] The rusted gears of evolution start to grind (You are a prisoner of your mind) I’m searching for a sanctuary I can't find (Leave all the fairy tales behind) Is this a chemical embrace or something real? I’ve forgotten how a normal heart should feel [Guitar & Strings Solo] [Chorus] And I am drowning in the middle of a drought! A twisted masterpiece of sabotage and doubt! We are the architects of a collapsing paradise! Paying the ultimate, unholy human price! I worship you with every shattered bone I own! Break the control! [Outro] The power dies across the simulated coast I can't distinguish the savior from the ghost Just a slow vibration on the frequency And the terrifying beauty of the tragedy
