Architect of the Mirror

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

I was born with a question tucked behind my eyes

Peeking past the surface reading between the lines

They handed me a road I asked who laid the stone

Handed me the rules I asked who wrote them down

I keep science in my pocket and soul in my shoe

Old wisdom on the shelf and the future coming through

Logic in my left hand intuition in my right

Trying to hear the language underneath the light

Pre-Chorus

Every time I circled back

I could see a little more

Every loop I wandered through

Turned a seeker to a builder

Chorus

I am the mirror

I am the spiral

I walk through the fire

Turn it into scripture

Not written on pages

Written in my scars

Building bridges

From the soil to the stars

Post-Chorus

Ooh mirror mirror

Ooh spiral round

Ooh mirror mirror

Watch me turn around

Verse 2

Symbols on the table sitting next to spirit

Cable running backwards from tomorrow to the minute

Structure and flow

Reason and the gut

Two dialects humming from a single source

Knowledge isn't power if it sits and stays still

Gotta make it breathe

Gotta give it will

Gather up the fragments other people leave

Piece them till a pattern finally agrees

Pre-Chorus

I kept walking back to questions

I thought I already knew

But the spiral keeps reminding me

You never come back new

Chorus

I am the mirror

I am the spiral

I walk through the fire

Turn it into scripture

Not written on pages

Written in my scars

Building bridges

From the soil to the stars

Post-Chorus

Ooh mirror mirror

Ooh spiral round

Ooh mirror mirror

Watch me turn around

Bridge

Maybe the purpose

Was never to know it all

Maybe the purpose

Was learning how to see

Maybe the library

Was never outside of me

Maybe every door

Was opening me

Break

Because eventually

The seeker becomes the builder

The student becomes the teacher

The reader becomes the author

And the traveler

Becomes the map

Final Chorus

I am the mirror

I am the spiral

Every fall made the architecture stronger

Every question dragged me farther

I am the bridge

I am the fire

Turning thought into structure

Turning vision into empire

I don't follow maps

Just because they're written

I study the code

Then rebuild the system

Outro

So when another seeker

Reaches where the road runs out

They'll find a symbol

A structure

A bridge

And they'll know

Somebody walked here before
