Writing on the Wall
Palaces of silver and gold
- Palaces of silver and gold
- Cannot be designed overnight
- It's like the saying I've often been told
- "No matter the cost do things right"
- You have to be careful
- You have to be diligent
- Planning and measuring every detail
- Creating is drawing erasing and drawing again
- And I've never been in it for fame or attention
- I only work hard so the structures won't fail
- And seeing it finished is worth every mora I spend
- Within every building made with pride
- The architect lives on inside
- Shining paint a marble heart
- That's what makes a work of art
- We build and we play
- Sculpting dreams out of clay
- With the hope that our towers don't fall
- That we won't have to see the writing on the wall
- The more you work the higher the stakes
- And the bigger the sorrows to drown
- 'Cause one mistake is all that it takes
- For the walls to come crumbling down
- You have to ignore them the echoing voices
- That cackle and curse as you toil away
- Cover your ears and focus on boxes and lines
- And the shadowy figures they're nothing but shadows
- Like ink on a page they have nothing to say
- But maybe just maybe
- They're trying to give me a sign
- That in every building made with pride
- The architect remains inside
- Peeling paint a heavy heart
- That's what makes a work of art
- We scream and we pray
- Sculpting dreams out of clay
- As we try not to look at scrawl
- The message of doom the writing on the wall
- Everyday we play this game of chance
- Whirling through a desperate dance
- Sketching visions in our heads
- Just to see them ripped to shreds
- This road that we share
- Doesn't lead anywhere
- But there's nothing an artist can do
- When you swing your brush you have to follow through
- Within every building made with pride
- The architect is trapped inside
- Bleeding paint a shattered heart
- That's what makes a work of art
- I'll fight for control
- But the "right way" takes a toll
- And still at the end of it all
- I can't escape my fate the writing's on the wall
