Erosion Architects

Lyrics

Empires don't collapse in a single day They crumble grain by grain across the years Love doesn't die in one catastrophic moment It bleeds out slowly through invisible tears We were architects of our own erosion Building distance brick by brick Never noticing the foundation cracking Until the whole structure made us sick When did it change Was there a moment we could name When did it change Or did time slowly claim Everything we built together Without asking our permission first When did it change From blessed into cursed Civilizations fall this way Languages fade this way Species go extinct this way Everything decays this way Not with earthquakes or explosions Not with declarations or goodbyes Just the relentless march of seconds Transforming truth into lies Show me the exact moment The precise second it turned Show me where love became indifference Show me where the bridge burned But there is no moment There is no single day Just time doing what time does Taking everything away When did it change The question with no answer found When did it change Just the wreckage all around What we were is gone forever What we are is barely here When did it change Somewhere between love and fear
