Architect of Ruin — Lyrics

Original English lyrics

​I see 'em coming and I watch 'em go
A parade of angels I’ve laid low
They’re building castles on a shifting sand
While I’m holding the matches in my hand
I pushed the limit, yeah, I forced the end
Too bored to love, too proud to bend
I stole their time and I fed ‘em lies
Just to see the light die in their eyes

​It’s a sick curiosity, a hunger in the vein
To see how they’re different, to feel their pain
I’m objective, I’m cold, I’m surgically precise
Gambling with souls and I’m loaded with the dice...

​I’m the king of the wreckage, the master of the "no"
I want the fire but I freeze the glow
I scream for a partner, for a life to build
Then I butcher the dream ‘til the pulse is stilled
Tell me, what’s wrong with me?
I’m addicted to the lonely, I’m addicted to the free
Yeah, I’m the poison in the cup, the shadow in the hall
I’m the one who makes 'em fly just to watch 'em fall!

​Successful, charming, yeah, they had it all
But I built my ego on a higher wall
I taste the skin then I lose the spark
Leaving 'em broken, alone in the dark
Is it fear of the tether? Or a rot in the soul?
I’m losing my grip and I’m losing control
I’m so damn picky, like I’ve got the right
To haunt their dreams in the middle of the night

​Time for a change!
Break the principle, break the cage!
Stop looking at the face, start looking at the mess
Gotta drop the guard, gotta confess
I sold myself out for a temporary high
Now I’m drowning in the "whys"!

​I’m the king of the wreckage, the master of the "no"
I want the fire but I freeze the glow
I scream for a partner, for a life to build
Then I butcher the dream ‘til the pulse is stilled
Tell me, what’s wrong with me?
I’m addicted to the lonely, I’m addicted to the free
Yeah, I’m the poison in the cup, the shadow in the hall
I’m the one who makes 'em fly just to watch' em fall!

​Don't let me sell my soul again
Don't let me be the same man I’ve been
Just let it go...
Everything...
fall...
What is wrong with me?
