The Librarian

Lyrics

Built a prison from my past Every regret became a wall Locked myself inside for years Serving time for nothing at all I'm the architect, I hold the plans I'm the librarian with steady hands Reorganize what's on the shelves The past can serve instead of jail Tore it down, rebuilt it right Same materials, different design Now it's shelves instead of cells Reference points instead of time I'm the architect, I hold the plans I'm the librarian with steady hands Reorganize what's on the shelves The past can serve instead of jail Visit when I need the wisdom Leave when I've learned enough Don't live among the volumes Just consult them when it's tough I'm the architect, I hold the plans I'm the librarian with steady hands Reorganize what's on the shelves The past can serve instead of jail I'm the keeper of my history I choose what stays, what goes away The structure doesn't have to trap me If I'm the one who built the way Prison or library Same past, different frame I decide which one it is I control the narrative's name
