lyrics

I should be long gone by now
Why stick around; waste my time trying to figure things out?

I've never been the hero
it's a path I doubt.

'Cause I'm the architect of my own destruction
Building brick by brick until I'm alone
Well if my lungs cave in; a fault in production
and then my head rolls off, none to glue it on
Well then I'll know I'm done

I've got walls around me
I've got guts; they're a gruesome thing to find
I've got screws and bolts on all the little lines and faults
and all the scars I've earned in passing time

I really stopped expecting lately
For things to go my way

'Cause I'm the architect of my own destruction
Building brick by brick until I'm alone
Well if my lungs cave in; a fault in production
and then my head rolls off, none to glue it on
Well then I'll know I'm done

Something has changed within me, and I don't doubt it anymore
I got what I gained through villainy and lost all the things that I adored
Don't make it out to be worse off than it appears; it's better now

Now that I've got my shit together
I know I never really will

I'm the architect of my own destruction
Building brick by brick until I'm alone
Well if my lungs cave in; a fault in production
and then my head rolls off, none to glue it on
Well then I'll know
I'm the architect of my own destruction
Building brick by brick until I'm alone
Well if my lungs cave in; a fault in production
and then my head rolls off, none to glue it on
Well then I'll know I'm done
