Even something as small as an apple

It's simple and somehow complex

Sweet and divine the perfect design

Can I speak to the architect

And there's a canyon that cuts through the desert

Did it get there because of a flood

Was it devised

Or were you surprised

When you saw how grand it was

Was it thought out at all or just paint on a wall

Is there anything that you regret

I don't understand are there blueprints or plans

Can I speak to the architect

Sometimes I look in the mirror

And wish I could make a request

Could I pray it away

Am I shapeable clay

Or is this as good as it gets

One day you're on top of the mountain

So high that you'll never come down

Then the wind at your back carries ember and ash

That it burns your whole house to the ground

Is it thought out at all or just paint on a wall

Is there anything that you regret

I don't understand are there blueprints or plans

Can I speak to the architect

I thought that I was too broken

And maybe too hard to love

I was in a weird place then I saw the right face

And the stars and the planets lined up

Does it happen by chance

Is it all happenstance

Do we have any say in this mess

Is it too late to make some more space

Can I speak to the architect

This life that we make is it random or fate

Can I speak to the architect

Is there an architect
