Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

I built a tower out of borrowed steel

Climbed it twice

The wind kept telling me the truth

I never listened once

Soldiers marching through my bedroom wall

Tiny boots

They ask me who I'm fighting for

I don't know anymore

Pre-Chorus

So I tear the map in half

And I feed it to the furnace

Let the smoke spell out my name

Chorus

I am the architect of my own collapse

I am the architect

Watch me build it back

Brick by brick by brick by brick

I am the architect

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Build it back

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

My father had a temper like a storm

I inherited the thunder and the quiet

Now I stand inside a crowded room

And hear nobody

Something in me wants to run for miles

Something wants to stay

Two wolves tearing at the same damn bone

And neither one is mine

Pre-Chorus

So I burn the blueprint down

And I scatter all the ashes

Let the current take my name

Chorus

I am the architect of my own collapse

I am the architect

Watch me build it back

Brick by brick by brick by brick

I am the architect

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Build it back

Oh-oh-oh

Bridge

(Architect)

Everything I made I made alone

(Architect)

Everything I break I break alone

Call it pride call it hunger call it fear

The tower stands

The tower stands right here

Chorus

I am the architect of my own collapse

I am the architect

Watch me build it back

Brick by brick by brick by brick

I am the architect

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Build it back

Oh-oh-oh

Build it back

Build it back
