Architect of the Ruin - Toad The Wet Sprocket

Settle down, be still

It is all a test of will

We just need a little time to find some shelter,

To hide a while in the story’s fine

You’ve got yours, well I’ve got mine

They’re just markers on the map to find

The truth that’s lying in the middle

It’s easy to rage

It’s easy to blame

It’s easy to crumble and curse your name

But I owe you my life

I’ll swallow my pride

‘Cause I was the the architect of half of the ruin

All the hurt and angry men

Play the victim till the end

Never easing their defenses

Well I won’t be them, I won’t be bitter

It’s easy to rage

It’s easy to blame

It’s easy to crumble and curse your name

But I owe you my life

I’ll swallow my pride

‘Cause part of me always knew just what I was doing

Architect of half of the ruin

I want to see this through my eyes

A year from now or maybe five

A shortcut forward to the day

It’s just a memory of change

It’s easy to rage

It’s easy to blame

It’s easy to crumble and curse your name

But I owe you my life

I’ll swallow my pride

‘Cause part of me always knew just what I was doing

Architect of half of the ruin
