Architecture of Reality

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We learned the world before we learned our names In voices older than our understanding A table is never just a shape of wood It is agreement carved into silence And silence taught us how to see [Pre-Chorus] The story came before the question And the question learned to kneel They call it truth But it moves like language [Chorus] This is the architecture of reality (architecture of reality) Built in the space between us Stone by stone This is the architecture of reality (architecture of reality) Held together by repetition And the weight of belief [Verse 2] Stone by stone of shared illusion Until illusion feels like breath The room remembers what the mouth repeats What we name as solid first was made between us And every "always" learned to bend [Pre-Chorus] The story came before the question And the question learned to kneel They call it truth But it moves like language [Chorus] This is the architecture of reality (architecture of reality) Built in the space between us Stone by stone This is the architecture of reality (architecture of reality) Held together by repetition And the weight of belief [Bridge] If you take one word away Does the wall still stand? If you take one hand away Do we vanish then? I can feel the seam I can hear the seam I can feel the seam Between your yes and mine [Final Chorus] This is the architecture of reality (architecture of reality) Built in the space between us Stone by stone This is the architecture of reality (architecture of reality) Held together by repetition And the weight of belief This is the architecture of reality (architecture of reality) Until illusion feels like breath Until breath feels like belief
