lyrics

Buried by the thoughts, I'm bleeding
Forged in fire but now I'm seeing
How it's haunting me
How it's haunting me

Haunted by the price I pay
For passion and impulsivity
But as the blindness fades away
The greatest pain is if I choose to stay

A shell of skin around a mind
That's spiralin' in a decline
'Cause you're dead inside

Why would I choose to chase a ghost
When all I would gain is just more loss?
And how could I seek to find my soul
As I kill myself to make you whole?
Why would I sacrifice my only life when
You won't try to simply even take a look inside?

I watched your body stay yet your heart disappear
Like mourning your death while you're still here

Hearing echoes, hearing echoes calling
(echoes are calling me)
This is haunting how it's crushing me
It's crushing me

I wish there was another way
But hope cannot save us
The good moments were never gold
Just pyrite giving false hope as we grow old

Hearing echoes, hearing echoes calling
(echoes are calling me)
This is haunting how it's crushing me
(how it's crushing me)
Now I'm buried by the thoughts, I'm bleeding
Forged in fire but not defeated
I struggle on, I can't let go

Let go to become
Who I always should have been
Become the architect
What I was born to build
Become the architect
Of what I was born to build

Buried by the thoughts, I'm bleeding
Forged in fire but not defeated
I struggle on, I can't let go
Hearing echoes, hearing echoes calling
(echoes are calling me)
This is haunting how it's crushing me
(how it's crushing me)
Now I'm buried by the thoughts, I'm bleeding
Forged in fire but not defeated
I struggle on, I can't let go
I struggle on, but now let go
(buried by the thoughts, I'm bleeding)
I can't let go
(forged in fire but not defeated)
I struggle on, the echoes call

They call until I let go
No longer haunted

Become the architect (the architect)
Of what I was born to build
