The calcified debris of every failure
Stacked in the periphery of my vision
I filed the paperwork for total extradition
Of the doubt that lived under my tongue
It was a bureaucratic nightmare
A technicality in the orthopedic alignment
Of my ambition and my daily assignments
But I tore the staples out with my teeth
Chorus
The procedure is a success
(Success success)
I’ve dismantled the mess
(The mess the mess)
No more negotiating with the floorboards
No more apologizing to the door
I’m the architect and the masonry
The verdict is in and it’s for me
Verse 2
I used to prosecute my own reflection
Searching for a flaw in the lead pipes
But I’ve scrubbed away the carbon types
And the soot from the furnace of my chest
It’s a violent sort of clarity
Like a sharp cut from a fresh legal pad
I’ve finally stepped off the blueprint
And onto the main stage of the day
I’ve burned the manual for being sad
Chorus
The procedure is a success
(Success success)
I’ve dismantled the mess
(The mess the mess)
No more negotiating with the floorboards
No more apologizing to the door
I’m the architect and the masonry
The verdict is in and it’s for me
Bridge
I am a machine that works
(Works works)
I am the hammer and the nail
(Nail nail)
I dismantled the heavy burden
Dismantled the rusted curtain
I am fixed
(Fixed)
I am fixed
(Fixed)
Finally finally finally finally
Look at the result of my hands
Chorus
The procedure is a success
(Success success)
I’ve dismantled the mess
(The mess the mess)
No more negotiating with the floorboards
No more apologizing to the door
I’m the architect and the masonry
The verdict is in and it’s for me
Outro
Closed
(Case closed)
Closed
(Case closed)
I won the argument
I won the argument
(I won)
(I won)
Abrupt stop
