Architect

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre Chorus] But something inside of me wants to change the earth Build my kingdom, watch it burn Chase the 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 [Chorus] 'Cause I'll take all your sticks and stones Turn them into miracles Let me let you know I'm never gonna want your pity Oh, no, no Look at you so cynical But if I let it go Who else is gonna build this city? 'Cause we are who they say we are And that's just fine 'Cause I was never gonna take them with me Sticks and stones Turn them into miracles Let me let you know Nobody else is gonna build my city [Verse 2] Drag me through the dark Be the villain in my narrative Dance upon my scars How I truly love your arrogance Future felt far until you opened up the door for it Oh, when you opened up the door for it [Pre Chorus] But something inside of me wants to change the earth Build my kingdom, watch it burn Chase the 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 [Chorus] 'Cause I'll take all your sticks and stones Turn them into miracles Let me let you know I'm never gonna want your pity Oh, no, no Look at you, so cynical But if I let it go Who else is gonna build this city? [Bridge] Nothing is left, I'm letting you in Take what you want, talking my life, 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, talking my life, my sin Knew you were staying, so I built a city Where all my shadows and demons can live [Post Chorus] Sticks and stones Turn them into miracles Let me let you know Nobody else is gonna build my city Sticks and stones Turn them into miracles Let me let you know
