Architecture of Lies

I used to think one day I'd learn the truth about life
Nailed everything I saw to the wall of certainties
Then life came along and casually pulled down
My house

Used to think I would understand things
Now I learned there´s nothing to be understood
Then I believed everything I touched
Was a lie impossible to live up to
Pull down brick by brick
The fence around my life
Burnt the flowers ´cos I thought
I thought they were alibis

Used to think I would understand things
Now I learned there´s nothing to be understood

Now I observe constructions around me
The architecture of sophisticated lives
Warehouses to pile up mistakes
Woodsheds to hide the dreams we give up on

Used to think I would understand things
Now I learned there´s nothing to be understood
I used to think one day I'd get to be something
Now there's nothing that I wanna be
There's nothing I can be 'cause I'm nothing
There's nothing I can be, not worth trying
