Livingston - 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 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

 

'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

 

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

 

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

 

'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?

 

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

Sticks and stones

Turn them into miracles
