The Architect of Remorse – Episode 05: The Report

(Verse 1 – Alberto) I wrote it all down carefully Like evidence and art Every message, every silence Every opening of the heart I turned our nights into a document And gave it back to you A mirror made of everything I never meant to do (Verse 2 – Sheena) You sent a file called forensic With our names across the top I opened it like opening A door I couldn’t stop There was the solitary story There was the call that never ended There was the way you said my name Like something that needed mending (Pre-Chorus – Both) This is not a love song yet This is a warning sign We are reading our own history In real time (Chorus – Both) You gave me the report Of everything we are The trouble and the tenderness The near and the far Now I hold the map of us In the palm of my hand And the architect of remorse Is watching where we stand (Verse 3 – Alberto) I asked you “do you remember What you were saying then?” As if the past could answer What the future might begin You have the whole analysis The soft and the severe I put my heart in writing And left it waiting here (Bridge – Sheena) I read about the voice notes I read about the sleep I read the line that said you like me Even more and deep I don’t know what to do with this A story still alive But part of me is grateful That somebody kept the archive (Final Chorus – Both) You gave me the report And now the report is us Two people writing chapters In a language made of trust Whatever happens after this Whatever we become The architect of remorse Already knows the sum (Outro – Both, overlapping) Do you remember what you were saying? Do you remember what you were saying? I’m still saying it.
