lyrics

go
we bleed like an open wound
the stitches are of no use
nothing will satisfy
we’re suffering the classic symptoms
of a broken spirit
you wanna push us to the fucking limit?
this is how we keep a tiger tame
nothing worth fighting for?
just step outside your door
they all say revelation’s on it’s way
so be very afraid
revelation’s on it’s way
waiting for the world to burn
living but we never learn
sorry, it don’t look good
we’re suffering the classic symptoms
of a broken spirit
if armageddon can’t eclipse our pain
every action left will be in vain
it’s like boiling the ocean
nothing left to do but to bottle the emotion
cause we’re all players and the world’s a stage
we’ll give a fuck so long as we get paid
it’s like boiling the ocean
nothing left to do but to bottle the emotion
be very afraid
it’s like boiling the ocean
everything we love lays resting on a broken spirit
the classic symptoms of a broken spirit
be very afraid
let’s all be very afraid
cause they all say revelation’s on it’s way

Probably best song on the album, the lows are nuts

[theseanie]

the last few tracks on this album really end it with a bang. this is in the running for best song on the album

[codiction]

What a different way to end an album in comparison with Dying is Absolutely Safe

[StarkMusic_]

Would really love to see their next album use this song and new moral low ground as the foundation of their sound. I think this is the perfect balance of what Architects is known for along with keeping things super fresh. Plus the energy on this song just makes it a pure banger. More please 😉

[fou]

If only the whole album sounded like this. Absolute banger

[ediblenebulas]

WE'RE SUFFERING THE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS OF A BROKEN

[PepegaPotato]

Without even questioning this is the best song of the album . Sick intro, drum work, riffs, screams . Architects ♥

[bradleymartin]

"the classic symptoms of a broken spirit" is such a great line.

[stayVLR]

that is the most interesting way to end the album off and i am blown away

[iDarkness-]

Excellent way to end the album. Not their best, but a great album. If you really think about it, the whole concept of the album is brilliant, these songs are very real whats happenig today. I appreciate the new music.

[Thgrandfinale]

this goes so fucking HARD. love heavy architects so damn much man

[mako_psy]

I wish the rest of the album sounded like this. This would have been evolving whilst retaining your signature sound

[uncanny.valleygrl]

best song on the album. I'm not even one of the people who thinks heavy = better but like I feel like this song has a lot of the punch that much of the album is missing. overall a good album though

[ryanscafuri]

The best song they’ve released since holy hell. Unreal track

[DCul]

This is the best one on the album by far. Most of the others are generic but this one hits you differently. I love that creepy tone at 1:27. This one just has layers that you need to pay attention to to fully appreciate it and I love how it doesn't follow the generic song structure like some of the other songs on the album.

[redparrot]

Easily the best song of this album. The lyrics, the hammering guitars, the screams, everything!

[Reh-Gaggi]

1:00 more of those growling sections please....!

[jesseroberts]

Yep, this is what I hope the future will be like from them, don't get me wrong I enjoyed this album a lot more than the last, but THIS track here is what I know they can bring with the new sound they have also added into their mix. Banger.

[jakesetnikvox]

Hot take, but I actually think this is one of the heaviest songs they’ve ever written, not just on this album. And yes I’ve listen to every album since hollow crown and still, this one is top 10 heaviest easily

[SkippyTheBoy]

Fuck yes, yeah no this album is pretty good, it's solid, I know people are gonna hate the album but love this song, I don't hate the album it's really good in my personal opinion
