Haken, Einar Solberg - The Architect lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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)

Omnipresent endless knot
The architect of every thought
Through the prison walls made by your design
A chameleon hides behind Orwellian eyes

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

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
