Architecture of Illusion

Verse 1

I walked through halls of memory,

Walls built from choices I can’t see.

Every echo, every stone,

Whispers, “You are not alone.”

Pre-Chorus

The patterns rise, the shadows bend,

Stories circle without end.

But behind the veil, the truth is clear,

It’s not the chains that hold me here.

Chorus

Karma is only the architecture,

Of the illusion I agreed to know.

Blueprints drawn in light and fracture,

Teaching me the way to grow.

I signed my soul to this design,

To break the spell and cross the line.

Verse 2

Every debt, every vow,

Feels so heavy in the now.

But the architect is me,

Building dreams of what could be.

Pre-Chorus

The mirrors crack, the doors swing wide,

I see the truth I used to hide.

The scaffolds fall, the sky is near,

Illusion fades, the path is clear.

Chorus

Karma is only the architecture,

Of the illusion I agreed to know.

Blueprints drawn in light and fracture,

Teaching me the way to grow.

I signed my soul to this design,

To break the spell and cross the line.

Bridge

I am the builder, I am the flame,

I am the dreamer who wrote my name.

No prison holds, no fate decrees,

I walk beyond what karma sees.

Final Chorus

Karma is only the architecture,

Of the illusion I agreed to know.

Blueprints fade into pure connection,

Now I remember, now I let go.

I signed my soul to this design,

To break the spell and cross the line.

Outro

Illusion falls, the truth remains,

I am the light beyond the chains.
