The Paper Architect

Verse 1

Desk

Heavy head

Ignoring every single word I said

Scribbling on the margin

Laughing

Losing the thread

You think the clock is stuck

You think you found a way to cheat the luck

But the wolf is at the door

The wolf is on the floor

The wolf is wanting more

Chorus

Now you cry

Now you cry

Now you cry

Because the fire burned your hand

Because you didn't have a plan

Bitter harvest from the seeds you sowed

Heavy burden on a broken road

Now you cry

Now you cry

Verse 2

Pride

Paper thin

Letting all the cold water in

I told you watch the ice

I told you check the price

I told you once or twice

Sinking

Solo

Going down into the low

You built a house of sand

You built it with your hand

You built what you can't stand

Chorus

Now you cry

Now you cry

Now you cry

Because the fire burned your hand

Because you didn't have a plan

Bitter harvest from the seeds you sowed

Heavy burden on a broken road

Now you cry

Now you cry

Bridge

Tears fall

Tears dry

Tears won't tell you why

You knew the ending

You knew the fall

You knew it all

But you listened to nothing

Nothing at all

Chorus

Now you cry

Now you cry

Now you cry

Because the fire burned your hand

Because you didn't have a plan

Bitter harvest from the seeds you sowed

Heavy burden on a broken road

Now you cry

Now you cry

Outro

Echoes in the hall

Watching you crawl

Told you so

Told you so

Now you know
