Architect

Every word you said runs around inside my head again Every conversation with myself, my God, a therapist No, you can't resist, you're the name of my apocalypse Thank the Lord, I didn't fall for it

But something inside of me wants to change the earth Build my kingdom, watch it burn Chase a feeling, lift the curse Teachers told me I'd never learn I won't be the last, but you won't be the first Hit when I'm kneeling, do your worst

'Cause I'll take all your sticks and stones Turn 'em into miracles Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh I'm never gonna want your pity Oh, no, no, look at you so cynical But if I let it go, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh Who else is gonna build this city?

'Cause we are who we say we are And that's just fine 'Cause I was never gonna take them with me

Sticks and stones Turn 'em into miracles Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh Nobody else is gonna build my city

Drag me through the dark, be the villain in my narrative Dance upon my scars, how I truly love your arrogance Future felt far 'til you opened up the door for it Oh, you opened up the door for it

But something inside of me wants to change the earth Build my kingdom, watch it burn Chase a feeling, lift the curse Teachers told me I'd never learn I won't be the last, but you won't be the first Hit when I'm kneeling, do your worst

'Cause I'll take all your sticks and stones Turn 'em into miracles Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh I'm never gonna want your pity Oh, no, no, look at you so cynical But if I let it go, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh Who else is gonna build this city?

Nothing is left, I'm letting you in Take what you want, take my lies, and my sin Knew you were staying, so I built a city Where all my shadows and demons can live

Nothing is left, I'm letting you in Take what you want, take my lies, and my sin Knew you were staying, so I built a city Where all my shadows and demons can live

Sticks and stones Turn 'em into miracles Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh Nobody else is gonna build my city

(Oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Sticks and stones Turn 'em into miracles Let me let you know, oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh
