Who is the Architect?

from These Golden Threads by Gun Mother

lyrics

I am the Lion Tamer
Between the tongue and teeth
It’s not devotion
It’s the sword of Damocles

And I want to read the contract
That proclaims all this must happen
When it happens once again
And I want the teeth to wrap around
My neck as I discover
just according to whose plan?

I have so many things
That I’ve mashed in this imperfect prayer
There is peace in the dark
You can’t see, you are no longer here

But I can keep waiting
While you are chasing stars.
I can keep waiting
While you are chasing stars.

I am the Narcissist
Who abandoned the building
I stared at the mirror too long
And saw cracks in everything

And I want to see the faces
Of the dead stockpiled around me
Who had nominated me a friend
I want to see the history in the flowers
And the tea leaves that would whisper
What should have been.

I have so many things
That I’ve mashed in this imperfect prayer
There is peace in the dark
You can’t see, you are no longer here

But I can keep waiting
While you are chasing stars.
I can keep waiting
While you are chasing stars.

I am the Cosmonaut
Drifting beyond the stars
It’s all moved past me now
From Boston to Charminar
I see four bleak spires and wonder

Who is the Architect?
Who is the Architect?
