RESPONSE SONG sung by: » Lia 리아 () SPOTIFY AND MORE: Original: Will Stetson » lyrics: Tala () & Lia 리아 () » tune/time: Lia 리아 () » mix/master: Coffee Run () » art: linh () » animation: Ashking109 () -------------------- LYRICS: You, adorned with crimson and gold Toil at your desk every night Not paying mind to what you’ve been told “You try to do ‘right’, it’s futile.” You’re always on edge and you strive for perfection with Planning and measuring every detail I watch you draw, erase, draw and then black out again And you never admit wanting fame or attention You only work hard so your structures won’t fail Is seeing it finished worth every Mora you spend? Within every building made with pride The architect lives on inside Shining paint, a marble heart Tirelessly makes works of art You build day by day Sculpt your dreams out of clay But you hope that your towers don’t fall So I won’t have to see The writing on the wall Keeping track of all of your mistakes The penalties heavy, you drown I come to say, “That’s not all it takes For your walls to come crumbling down.” But then you ignore me, advice turning voiceless As I further tell you to not waste away Cover your ears and fill your own heart with the lies Saying “You need to suffer, and starve, cause you always Can’t settle for less, need to have it your way” Cause maybe, just maybe, they’re trying to give you a sign That with every building made with pride The architect is locked inside Walls press in and choke your heart Any day, you’ll fall apart I scream and I pray That I’ll reach you some way Cause together we can make it through I will be there soon The writing on the wall [Instrumental Break] Every day, we play this game of chance Whirling through a desperate dance Sketching visions in our heads Then you rip them all to shreds Not once did you share Pain you shouldered, but bared Did you notice me watch over you? I’ve seen all the things your brush had made you do Now that all your buildings, towering high Crumble down, you’re trapped inside Finished ending at the start Now it’s time to play my part I’ll come save your soul As your “right way” takes a toll And then at the end of it all, I will rewrite your fate As writing on the wall
