Lyrics

Some days I’m a tidal wave
Still lakes never leave a trace
I’m overcome but I don’t wanna run
Light fades but the shadows stay
No grace in the breaths I take
I’ve had enough of staring at the sun

You wouldn't wanna read my mind
You wouldn't wanna stand beside me
When I'm living on the edge

Take me to the place where the heavens are haunted
And I'll pray to the cross you bear
Tell me, if I gave you the world would you meet me there?
Do you see me now the lights are out?
I’m a broken mirror

No sleep in the bed we made
Two saints and a hand grenade
Forever numb
A cry to anyone
Highways over shallow graves
Cold rain down a window pane
I gave you doves but held on to the gun

You wouldn't wanna read my mind
You wouldn't wanna stand beside me
When I'm living on the edge

Take me to the place where the heavens are haunted
And I'll pray to the cross you bear
Tell me, if I gave you the world would you meet me there?
Do you see me now the lights are out?
I’m a broken mirror
These shattered lives
Reflections scattered
Pieces in your eyes

Take me to the place where the heavens are haunted
And I'll pray to the cross you bear
Tell me, if I gave you the world would you meet me there?
Do you see me now the lights are out?
I’m a broken mirror

I found you on the other side
I tried to put it all behind me
I think about it all the time, I dream about the end
You wouldn't wanna read my mind
You wouldn't wanna stand beside me
Hear me now
I’m crying out
I’m a broken mirror

[mutatednut]

Best song on the album for me. Proof we don't just want heavy, we want something memorable and well written. And this is perfectly written.

[maxenders]

I have a weak spot for this one.. The lyrics instantly got me. It's wonderful to listen to, thank you, Architects

[seanrookee]

Sam went straight beastmode on this album.

[sokp]

Broken Mirror is the best song of this album, and one of my top 5 Architects songs ever.

[sykojay]

A great stepping stone for new Architects fans 👍

[Crotes]

Deffo not the heaviest song on the album, but yet my favourite. The lyrics are 10/10 and I love the extended chorus at the end.

[chrisrcowley]

Finally, a standout album for me for these guys! This song is incredible

[newbeginningmusicproductio]

Easily the best song on the album for me. Haunting performance by Sam, proving that singing with your soul beats everything.

[early]

If Architects did more of this on future albums, I wouldn't mind. It's a really refreshing side of them to hear!

[chrisfaurlin]

There’s something about this song that was an immediate standout on first listen. It’s not very often you come across something special but this is it right here. Sam’s voice gets better every record he’s so talented. This album is a fucking banger man 🔥

[attentionduelists]

This is one of my favorites! Excellent album fellas

[dylanparrott]

architects always good at making feels tracks

[Vsportedition]

Some days I'm a tidal wave
Still lakes never leave a trace
I'm overcome, but I don't wanna run
Light fades, but the shadows stay
No grace in the breaths I take
I've had enough of staring at the sun

You wouldn't wanna read my mind
You wouldn't wanna stand beside me
When I'm living on the edge

Take me to the place where the heavens are haunted
And I'll pray to the cross you bear
Tell me, if I gavе you the world would you meet me therе?
Do you see me now? The lights are out
I'm a broken mirror

No sleep in the bed we made
Two saints and a hand grenade
Forever numb, a cry to anyone
Highways over shallow graves
Cold rain down a window pane
I gave you doves, but held on to the gun

You wouldn't wanna read my mind
You wouldn't wanna stand beside me
When I'm living on the edge

Take me to the place where the heavens are haunted
And I'll pray to the cross you bear
Tell me, if I gave you the world would you meet me there?
Do you see me now? The lights are out
I'm a broken mirror

Ah, these shattered lives
Reflections scattered
Ah, pieces in your eyes

Take me to the place where the heavens are haunted
And I'll pray to the cross you bear
Tell me, if I gave you the world would you meet me there?
Do you see me now? The lights are out
I'm a broken mirror

I found you on the other side
I tried to put it all behind me
I think about it all the time
I dream about the end
You wouldn't wanna read my mind
You wouldn't wanna stand beside me
Hear me now, I'm crying out

I'm a broken mirror

[ReivajLive]

I cried (a lot) with these one. Lyrics are really relatable

[natemiller]

This, Elegy, and Chandelier are my favorite non-singles from the album. They hit the feels

[mentaltelepathy]

Ok Architects more albums like this. This album is fucking legendary, and something I be jamming to for a while.

[qadRaGAMING]

Еще ни один трек за все время не был так близок к душе
Определенно лучшая песня для меня за все время 🖤

[simonekraus]

You wouldn't wanna read my mind
You wouldn't wanna stand beside me
When I'm living on the edge 💯♥♥♥

[GodofTrombones]

This is the best track on the album, right? Don't get me wrong, the rest are absolute bangers, but this song is just fuckin magic.

[thursdayfivenine]

Sam is one of my favorite metal singers since i've discovered this great band.
