Architecture

(album: Conduit - 2021)

I wonder if we'll ever look beyond the flesh
To see the soul inside
I wonder if our rights and wrongs could mesh
And we could find our stride

Hollywood, make me a machine
So my gears will only turn for the dollar
Moving units, feeding bullshit
The pay is better when you make 'em holler

Each and every one of us were architects
Taught to design a death that we could live with
The beauty and the filth, and the logic on a tilt
We must've measured wrong look at this wreck we built

Look at this wreck we built

Creativity gets lost
In the shuffle of this so called "business"
One wrong move, and your once loyal friends
Will disown you with a twisted quickness

Each and every one of us were architects
Taught to design a death that we could live with
The beauty and the filth, and the logic on a tilt
We must've measured wrong look at this wreck we built

By all means
You deserve a cut for giving your life to these dreams
So sad to see when spite meets the greed
And then lawyers convene
It's not robbery, but you could've fooled me

Each and every one of us were architects
Taught to design a death that we could live with
The beauty and the filth, and the logic on a tilt
We must've measured wrong look at this wreck we built

Look at this wreck we built
Death that we could live with
Look at this wreck we built
