[00:00.000] 作词 : William Stetson/Milo Poniewozik[00:01.000] 作曲 : William Stetson/Milo Poniewozik[00:11.540]Palaces of silver and gold[00:14.919]Cannot be designed overnight[00:18.043]It's like the saying I've often been told[00:21.661]"No matter the cost, do things right"[00:25.198]You have to be careful[00:26.951]You have to be diligent[00:29.030]Planning and measuring every detail[00:32.396]Creating is drawling, erasing and drawling again[00:39.142]And I've never been in it for fame or attention[00:42.717]I only work hard so the structures won't fail[00:46.541]And seeing it finished is worth every mora I spend[00:52.973]Within every building made with pride[00:57.234]The architect lives on inside[01:00.581]Shinning paint, a marble heart[01:04.386]That's what makes a work of art[01:07.373]We build and we play[01:10.531]Sculpting dreams out of clay[01:14.114]With the hope that our towers don't fall[01:17.911]That we won't have to see the writing on the wall[01:28.688]The more you work, the higher the stakes[01:32.053]And the bigger the sorrows to drown[01:35.273]'Cause one mistake is all it takes for the walls to come crumbling down[01:42.553]You have to ignore them, the echoing voices[01:46.001]That cackle and curse as you toil away[01:49.805]Cover your ears and focus on boxes and lines[01:56.330]And the shadowy figures, they're nothing but shadows[02:00.126]Like ink on a page, they have nothing to say[02:03.536]But maybe, just maybe[02:05.300]They're trying to give me a sign[02:10.358]That in every building made with pride[02:14.414]The architect remains inside[02:17.870]Peeling paint, a heavy heart[02:21.616]That's what makes a work of art[02:24.577]We scream and we pray[02:27.832]Sculpting dreams out of clay[02:31.395]As we try not to look at scrawl[02:35.130]The message of doom, the writing on the wall[03:18.838]Everyday we play this game of chance[03:22.906]Whirling through a desperate dance[03:26.551]Sketching visions in our heads[03:30.030]Just to see them ripped to shreds[03:32.967]This road that we share[03:36.115]Doesn't lead anywhere[03:39.454]But there's nothing an artist can do[03:43.210]When you swing your brush, you have to follow through[03:50.335]Within every building made with pride[03:54.430]The architect is trapped inside[03:57.983]Bleeding paint, a shattered heart[04:01.674]That's what makes a work of art[04:04.491]I'll fight for control[04:07.746]But the "right way" takes a toll[04:11.527]And still, at the end of it all[04:14.631]I can't escape my fate, the writing's on the wall
