lyrics

Lost in your hometown, stuck in place.
Enter the silver fish and find a place.
The asphalt river rolls till dawn.
You will find yourself for the first time.

Soak up shadows behind your door.
Your mind's a tourniquet, can't take anymore.
Uneasy steps lead into the light.
You will see the stars for the first time.

Oh, architects of meaning!
Oh, urban mystics dreaming!
A mortal leap, passionate pain,
we're all living for the first time.

Peel that wall off your back.
You want to ask her -- give yourself a chance.
When the music plays, tucked bodies wind.
You will feel your heart for the first time.

Oh, architects of meaning!
Oh, urban mystics dreaming!
A mortal leap, passionate pain,
we're all living for the first time.

Rosary chains around your hands.
Hospital bed, clouded eyes, wedding bands.
You cling to her, but she lets go.
You will die for the first time.

Oh, architects of meaning!
Oh, urban mystics dreaming!
A mortal leap, passionate pain,
we're all living for the first time.
