lyrics

Will I empty out this ocean one heart break at a time?
This machine is such a bitter green, a failure of design
Though I am not the architect, I know the blame is mine
Though I am not the architect, I know the blame is mine

Well I traced the shadow of Augustine
Wore it like a veil through Galilee
But hands can’t hold what eyes don’t see
So take this hope away from me

There was a fire in this heavy heart
There was a pattern in these scattered stars
But the flames snuffed out the stars design
Though I am not the architect, I know the blame is mine

I can bring to light a hollow dream
Bend the mind and the will to be
Oh but life aint got no room for me
So take this love away from me

When the grim light fades from the world on fire
What’s left of love, of you and I?
When I call your name, I get no reply, no reply

Will I empty out this ocean one heart break at a time?
This machine, it’s such a bitter green, a failure of design
Though i am not the architect, I know the blame is mine
Though i am not the architect, I know the blame is mine
