Buried by the ideas, I am bleeding
Cast in fireplace however now I am seeing
The way it’s haunting me

Haunted by the worth I pay
For ardour and impulsivity
However because the blindness fades away
The best ache is that if I select to remain

A shell of pores and skin round a thoughts
That is spiralin’ in a decline
‘Trigger you are lifeless inside

Why would I select to chase a ghost
When all I might acquire is simply extra loss?
And the way may I search to seek out my soul
As I kill myself to make you complete?
Why would I sacrifice my solely life when
You will not attempt to merely even have a look inside?

I watched your physique keep but your coronary heart disappear
Like mourning your dying whilst you’re nonetheless right here

Listening to echoes, listening to echoes calling
(echoes are calling me)
That is haunting the way it’s crushing me
It is crushing me

I want there was one other method
However hope can not save us
The great moments have been by no means gold
Simply pyrite giving false hope as we develop previous

Listening to echoes, listening to echoes calling

Now I am buried by the ideas, I am bleeding
Cast in fireplace however not defeated
I battle on, I am unable to let go

Let go to turn into
Who I at all times ought to have been
Develop into the architect
What I used to be born to construct

They name till I let go
Now not haunted

Develop into the architect (the architect)
Of what I used to be born to construct
