Different Heart

The Architect:
This is futile, hapless effort to reach another's heart
Knot I can't untie, puzzle I can't solve
Watching from afar, Distant as the stars
The Architect:
As all sentiments but the longing dissolve

This was just a bitter sweet endeavor
Storyteller & The Architect:
A girl chased by a boy, a boy chasing a dream
Acerbic taste of youth is swinging into whole
As my teenage hopes and wishes drown into a stream

The Girl & The Architect:
"We never really had that sort of true connection"
How come I never had a say, never had a say in games we played?
"It didn't have to come to this, it wasn't my intention"
The Architect:
One vague smile from her and I saw the world begin to fade

Darkness fell; he's finally opened its eyes
Rejection, despair, woe and compromise
Gazing on a pale horizon with vision unclear
The last hint of light is fading away
Casting shade that rolls over the sundial's face

The Architect:
We're lost in our lives like rats in a maze
Our feelings are smothered by indifferent haze
Our world's so hectic, chaotic, unjust
We might find a shelter though the shelter won' last

The Architect & Choir:
Those are the feelings that hold us together
A thought that crosses us as they're conducting the theme
Acidic taste of loneliness is blistering our tongues
The things that make us human make us scream

The Architect:
"We never really had that sort of true connection"
I feel like I succumb, I shuffle back and I restart
"It didn't have to come to this, it wasn't my intention"
She smiled indifferently but with a different heart
