Lyrics:
Palaces of silver and gold ⧸ You, adorned with crimson and gold
Cannot be designed overnight ⧸ Toil at your desk every night
It’s like the saying I’ve often been told ⧸ Not paying mind to what you’ve been told
“No matter the cost, do things right” ⧸ “You try to do ‘right’, it’s futile.”

You have to be careful, you have to be diligent ⧸ You’re always on edge and you strive for perfection with
Planning and measuring every detail ⧸ Planning and measuring every detail
Creating is drawing, erasing, and drawing again ⧸ I watch you draw, erase, draw and then black out again
And I’ve never been in it for fame or attention ⧸ And you never admit wanting fame or attention
I only work hard so the structures won’t fail ⧸ You only work hard so your structures won’t fail
But seeing it finished is worth every Mora I spend ⧸ Is seeing it finished worth every Mora you spend?

Within every building made with pride⧸ Within every building made with pride
The architect lives on inside ⧸ The architect lives on inside
Shining paint, a marble heart ⧸ Shining paint, a marble heart
That’s what makes a work of art ⧸ Tirelessly makes works of art
We build and we play ⧸ You build day by day
Sculpting dreams out of clay ⧸ Sculpt your dreams out of clay
With the hope that our towers don’t fall, ⧸ But you hope that your towers don’t fall
That we won’t have to see the writing on the wall ⧸ So I won’t have to see the writing on the wall

The more you work, the higher the stakes, ⧸ Keeping track of all of your mistakes
And the bigger the sorrows to drown ⧸ The penalties heavy, you drown
‘Cause one mistake is all that it takes ⧸ I come to say, “That’s not all it takes
For the walls to come crumbling down ⧸ For your walls to come crumbling down.”

You have to ignore them, the echoing voices ⧸ But then you ignore me, advice turning voiceless
That cackle and curse as you toil away ⧸ As I further tell you to not waste away
Cover your ears and focus on boxes and lines ⧸ Cover your ears and fill your own heart with the lies
And the shadowy figures, they’re nothing but shadows ⧸ Saying “You need to suffer, and starve, cause you always
Like ink on a page, they have nothing to say ⧸ Can’t settle for less, need to have it your way”
But maybe, just maybe, they’re trying to give me a sign ⧸ Cause maybe, just maybe, they’re trying to give you a sign

That in every building made with pride ⧸ That with every building made with pride
The architect remains inside ⧸ The architect is locked inside
Peeling paint, a heavy heart ⧸ Walls press in and choke your heart
That’s what makes a work of art ⧸ Any day, you’ll fall apart
We scream and we pray ⧸ I scream and I pray
Sculpting dreams out of clay ⧸ That I’ll reach you some way
As we try not to look at the scrawl, ⧸ Cause together we can make it through
The message of doom, the writing on the wall ⧸ I will be there soon, the writing on the wall.

[Instrumental Break]

Every day, we play this game of chance ⧸ Every day, we play this game of chance
Whirling through a desperate dance ⧸ Whirling through a desperate dance
Sketching visions in our heads ⧸ Sketching visions in our heads
Just to see them ripped to shreds ⧸ Then you rip them all to shreds
This road that we share ⧸ Not once did you share
Doesn’t lead anywhere ⧸ Pain you shouldered, but bared
But there’s nothing an artist can do ⧸ Did you notice me watch over you?
When you swing your brush, you have to follow through ⧸ I’ve seen all the things your brush had made you do

Within every building made with pride ⧸ Now that all your buildings, towering high
The architect is trapped inside ⧸ Crumble down, you’re trapped inside
Bleeding paint, a shattered heart ⧸ Finished ending at the start
That’s what makes a work of art ⧸ Now it’s time to play my part
I’ll fight for control ⧸ I’ll come save your soul
But the “right way” takes a toll ⧸ As your “right way” takes a toll
And still, at the end of it all, ⧸ And then at the end of it all
I can’t escape my fate ⧸ I will rewrite your fate
The writing’s on the wall ⧸ As writing on the wall
