The Demiurge's Garden (2 ver.)

Verse 1

Marble spires rising through the fog

Perfect branches bending toward the sun

I watched the hands assemble every cog

Believing every piece was one

But underneath the gilded seams

A fault line hides in every beam

The artisan denies the flaw

Yet fractures are the only law

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it trembling

Underneath the polish and the praise

Can you hear it singing

In the spaces that the maker can't erase

Chorus

The Demiurge's garden grows so tall

But every bloom conceals a crawl

A crack beneath the crystal wall

The broken thing that holds it all

The Demiurge's garden glows

But every seed was born from blows

Verse 2

I pressed my palm against the stone

Felt the hairline running deep

The perfect shape was never whole

A promise that could never keep

He carved the stars with steady hand

Then left a shadow on the land

I counted every missing part

The empty sockets in his art

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it bleeding

Through the lacquer and the endless shine

Can you hear it pleading

For the imperfection by design

Chorus

The Demiurge's garden grows so tall

But every bloom conceals a crawl

A crack beneath the crystal wall

The broken thing that holds it all

The Demiurge's garden glows

But every seed was born from blows

Bridge

Shatter the mirror

Bury the crown

The flawless lie is tumbling down

Shatter the picture

Feed it the fire

Nothing made of light is ever entire

Chorus

The Demiurge's garden grows so tall

But every bloom conceals a crawl

A crack beneath the crystal wall

The broken thing that holds it all

The Demiurge's garden glows

But every seed was born from blows

Outro

Crack in everything

Crack in everything

Crack in everything

And still it sings
