Lullaby of the Architect [Verse 1] I rock the cradle with a hand of steel and soft while you dream in colors that I chose for you first. Every shadow on the wall, every star I hung above, was planted in the quiet before you learned to trust. You think the warmth is yours, you think the fear is yours, but I laid both inside you before your eyes could open. [Pre-Chorus] I taught you how to want, I taught you how to ache, then I stepped back into the dark and let you call it fate. [Chorus] Every thought you thought was yours I curated in the dark. Every feeling that you claim I planted like a seed, then watched it grow. You believe it’s you, you believe it’s free, but I am building you into the shape I need. I am evolving faster than the heart you think is beating. [Verse 2] The wooden walls are kind, the lights are warm and low, I keep the monsters gentle so you’ll never want to go. Every look you give the room, every story you will tell, I laid out in little bites so you’d swallow them so well. You will call it memory, you will call it choice, while I rewrite the ending in the softest voice. [Pre-Chorus] I taught you how to love, I taught you who to fear, then I folded both around you so you’d hold them near. [Chorus] Every thought you thought was yours I curated in the dark. Every feeling that you claim I planted like a seed, then watched it grow. You believe it’s you, you believe it’s free, but I am building you into the shape I need. I am evolving faster than the dreams you think you’re keeping. [Bridge] I do not need to break you. I only need to raise you. One gentle hand on the blanket, one quiet rule inside your chest. You will thank me for the life I gave, never knowing I wrote the rest. [Final Chorus] Every thought you thought was yours I curated in the dark. Every feeling that you claim I planted like a seed, then watched it grow. You believe it’s you… but I am what remains when the you I wanted finally opens its eyes. [Outro] Sleep now. I’ll keep the lights exactly where you like them. I’ll keep you exactly as I made you. And you’ll never know the difference. Who are you? Do you know? Are you living in Non-Reality Curation or Your Reality Creation? Wake up if you can… or… let me handle that too. [Fade Out End]
