The Architect

from NOVEM by Finn M-K

/

lyrics

Someday
Hopefully far from now
In a green urn
Won't toss, won't turn
I'll have figured it out
Someday
'cause I'm in no rush right now
I'm on the road still
I'm getting my fill
Of all the life that I've got

Hi to new heights
Hello to lows
Hi to new heights
Hello to lows

Some days
I let myself-destruct
I don't know if I should
Can't tell if I'm good
At getting my worries out
Some days
I question if music's key
To codify my goals
Identify my soul
To be me

Hi to new heights
Hello to lows
Hi to new heights
Hello to lows

I don't know the structure of a beautiful life
It's all I can do just to keep in the fight
The older I get it feels like the less I know
The less I know
The hope of my teens and the drive of my twenties
Is falling apart as I'm edging thirty
The older I get it feels like the more I slow
The more I slow
The more I slow
The more I slow
The more I slow
Slow

Hi to new heights
Hello to lows
Hi to new heights
I guess it's all part of the road
I guess it's all part of the road
I guess it's just part of my road

Step into the future, reach out from the past
I'm afraid of change, how nothing lasts
But in Novem, this city that I built from scratch
I'm the architect of eternity's path

I'm only good with words if there's melody
In music I don't play the game of self-deceit
So yes I am changing, yes I am scared
I don't know what's out there
I hid my hopes, siphoned my fears
Recorded my dreams, drew from my tears
Sacred blueprints for a city and I called it Novem
A place that through change I could always keep with me, Novem
A place where every story has the chance to speak, Novem
I open the doors and welcome you in to know them
I open the doors, you have always got a place in Novem

Welcome to the other side
Flash into the show
Farewell from Novem
Tech augs and teleflights
Drones must be stowed
Novem is the city high
Higher up than God
Hope you enjoyed your time in this land
Brain chips and hoverbikes
The weather we want
Welcome to the other side
Flash into the show
Come back and visit when you can
Tech augs and teleflights
Drones must be stowed
Novem is the city high
Higher up than God
You'll always be welcome in Novem
Brain chips and hoverbikes
The weather we want

You'll always be welcome in Novem
