1. The Architect: You Are Not What You Go Through

Lyrics

No temptations out of this world
These are our own
We are at a standstill
Pain breeds vulnerability
Darkest days show us who we are
Faith, love, hate, hostility
You don’t have to reach that far

A hand from the Architect places the weight
Not what you longed for but formed by fate

You, are not what you go through
Situations and lessons hard won
The days do not determine who you become
Oh, yeah, you. Are someone

Who bore the weight of ordained collision?
With all the rejection and scorned derision
These promises smooth, yet jagged to hold
Faith burned bright as the world grew cold
It’s not the descent but the will to transcend
The story you etch in a world that bends
Trial, temptation—they blur, but they define
We’re the Architect’s muse, by design

A hand from the Architect places the weight
Not what you longed for but carved by fate

You, are not what you go through
Situations and lessons hard won
The days do not determine who you become
Oh, yeah, you. Are someone

Sewn into chaos, the sinews unwind
The poison of doubt claws at the mind
Poison turns to fuel, descends to ascend
The test rewrites itself until the end

You, are not what you go through
Situations and lessons hard won
The days do not determine who you become
Oh, yeah, you. Are someone

The Architect waits as you wrestle the veil
Where faithless hearts falter, the faithful prevail
