The Architect

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Message on a screen before me
Caught a glimpse of the ending to our story
"I'm sorry I haven't called you recently"

It's not surprising, I'll just learn the lesson
Take some time to process the evidence
And analyze your apathy

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You turned your back on affinity
Now it's turned to toxicity

You turned your back on affinity
Now it's turned to toxicity

[Chorus 1]
Spare me your obsolete empathy
The voice of sympathy means nothing to me
Delete all obsolete memories
Shores of tranquility, my monastery

[Verse 2]
We played the game of imitation
I met your stare with blank expression
I count the years of isolation
Since you set my mind in motion

And to eliminate the silence
I calculate to cure the virus
A panacea for the poison
The solution is wrong

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Woah-oh-oh-oh, well you turned your back
Turned your back on affinity
Woah-oh-oh-oh, and now it's turning to
Turning to toxicity

Woah-oh-oh-oh, well you turned your back
Turned your back on affinity
Woah-oh-oh-oh, and now it's turning to
Turning to toxicity

[Chorus 2]
Spare me your obsolete empathy
The voice of sympathy means nothing to me

Delete obsolete memories
In a dying sun, I'll become affinity
(Affinity, affinity, affinity)

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]
There's a strange feeling washing over me
As if I am drifting on the waves of a boundless sea
All embracing

Some say that time and tide will wait for no man (There's a strange feeling)
I stop and hold a single grain of sand (Washing over me)
To see a world in the palm of my hand (As if I am)
Strive to break free from the confines of my mind (Drifting on the)
Step through the doorway of perception (Waves of a boundless)
To lose all sense of past and future (Sea, all embracing)

[Guitar Solo]

[Breakdown: Einar Solberg]
Omnipresent endless knot
The architect of every thought
Through the prison walls made by your design
A chameleon hides behind Orwellian eyes

[Instrumental Breakdown]

[Chorus 3]
Spare me your obsolete empathy
The voice of sympathy means nothing to me
Delete all obsolete memories, in a dying Sun
When you're gone, I'll become affinity

[Outro - Guitar Solo]
Oh, hear this vow
Tied together forever
We'll make this dream
Last forever and ever

Oh, hear this vow
Tied together forever
We'll make this dream
Last forever and ever
