you’ve got the world at your feet, boy
and built it up and up from there
you designed it all; your downfall
your deep, deep pits of despair

maybe I should just drive
until my tank runs dry, and
maybe I’m to careen off the edge of a cliff
tell me this, would you reconsider anything?

my hands are falling apart again
could you put them back together? could you put them back together?
architects and medicine men
could you mend the things that weathered? could you mend the things that mattered?

and there goes my faith
echoes down and peters out, a taste
of sweet, sweet clarity
is this good will for another charity

case? it’s not imperative, anyway
how you live every day
what’s crucial though are the ones you make count
decisions made, the steps you take, come or go don’t be idle in your mistakes

my hands are falling apart again
could you put them back together? could you put them back together?
architects and medicine men
could you mend the things that weathered? could you mend the things that mattered?

then my heart was in my mouth
my brain somewhere else I can’t figure out
questions left unanswered
and unquestioned answers that never even mattered

my hands are falling apart again
could you put them back together? could you put them back together?
architects and medicine men
could you mend the things that weathered? could you mend the things that mattered?

my hands are falling apart again
could you put them back together? could you put them back together?
architects and medicine men
could you mend the things that mattered?

you’ve got the world at your feet, boy
and built it up and up from there

Architects & Medicine Men

You said ‘never change’
I didn’t want to anyway
the voice you made was strange
decreasing day by day

you never wanted anything
more than to be recognised
for the words you always
had in your mind but were too afraid to

say, too ashamed to
state, I found them too hard to

translate, but never
breaking pace, you still keep face with it all

and I’m tearing down your walls
trying to make sense of your world
you’re surely better than you think you are
but you don’t talk about that anymore

so here’s your chance to escape
but you never thought to anyway
to stay trapped in this place
would be ever such a waste

why would you live in doubt
and then to do without
those eyes of yours can only
shine so bright, so no wonder you look

worn, the warmth in your cheeks has
gone, please try to not look so

forlorn, still never
breaking pace, maintaining grace with it all

and I’m tearing down your walls
trying to make sense of your world
you’re surely better than you think you are
but you don’t talk about that anymore

and I’m begging you to beg me to stay
to say please, please don’t take me away
I won’t live in lies if you tell me the truth
so cut the ties that you’ve left too loose

honestly I’m terrified, you’re not the
only one to feel this inside, but insig-
nificant is not what you are
magnificent fits much better

Your World (Never Change)

Autumn Leaves & Awful Dreams

Math rock idea

I...
... I’ll
smile if you want me to
... as

I don’t mind
looking like how I did
... before I knew
... the

tick-tocking, the
drip by drip blocking
silence, constant
sirens...

I...
... I’ll
try if you know I can
... and

I’ll proceed
agreed in our dealings
... hand shaking hand
... like

cogs linking the
gears, predicting the
turn of events so
raise your defence

... I dis-
mantled all that I de-
nied, re-
wound and analysed
... every
fact in its smallest de-
tail fruitless en-
deavors to derail

v1 & v2 then;

hustle and bustling
brick by brick crumbling
down, down
dow_____n

I...
... I’ll
try if you know I can
... and

I’ll proceed
agreed in our dealings
... ha___nd
sha___ki___ng

ha___nd
... hand shaking
ha___nd
... hand shaking
ha___nd
... hand shaking
ha___nd
... hand shaking
