polair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No social determination, same emptiness, dead ends
I am the architect of my fall
I am my worst enemy
My worst enemy
My worst enemy
I am the ruiner of my own life, the path i chose is relentless
My mouth full of ice, blade on my wrist
Scars are the reminder
Never take the easy way
I am the architect of my fall
I am my worst enemy
My worst enemy
Worst enemy
The pain in my back
The gun in my mouth
The rope on my neck
Void under my feet
I am the ruiner of my own life
My worst enemy
