architect

lyrics:

i built the walls with perfect angles
every door locked from inside
kept the pieces separated
clean lines, no bleeding between the lines

but pressure finds the fractures
every secret has a price
and i was arrogant enough to think
i could keep the darkness from the light

containment breach
watch it all collapse
everything i buried
coming back

the compartments are breaking
everything i kept apart
is bleeding into everything
i can't control the spill
can't undo what's been revealed
the architect of my own ruin
and i'm losing what i can't afford to lose

i thought if i stayed disciplined
if i kept my distance from the flame
i could have it all and pay for nothing
keep my hands clean of the shame

but ghosts don't honor boundaries
and sins don't stay where they're buried
now the whole foundation's crumbling
and there's nowhere left to hide

i built this prison
called it control
now the walls are closing in
and i can't breathe
i can't breathe

let it burn
let it all come down
i'd trade it all
just to keep you now
let them see
let them tear me apart
just don't walk away
don't walk away

the compartments are breaking
everything i kept apart
is bleeding into everything
i can't control the spill
can't undo what's been revealed
but if you're still here when the dust settles
maybe losing control
means i finally have something real
