lyrics

no betting on tomorrow but we all love a tragedy
come drown in our sorrow
and see the world as it oughta be
delete another day
doomscrolling, sat beneath my shadow
keep loading, nothing here is hallowed
come see the world as it oughta be
delete another day
this path is growing kinda narrow
with rotten roses all the way
no guarantees it’ll carry me
nobody ordered me to swallow
i wanna know are we the bow or the arrow?
go take a dive where the waters are shallow
we can swim the undertow
swim the undertow
swim the undertow
we saw the flaw right from the get-go
who knew the hell we had to pay?
we like to please cause we’re devotees
hopefully god is at the gallows
god save our souls
let’s take the flame and hold it closer to the fuse
we’re well aware that we’ve got everything to lose
we’re singing
‘we don’t wanna know’
‘we don’t wanna know’
‘we don’t wanna know’
god save our souls
we kick the habit then we let the fire loose
it doesn’t matter when there’s water at the roots
we’re singing
‘we dont wanna know’
‘we dont wanna know’
‘we dont wanna know’

The most underrated song on the album. Thanks for giving it a little extra attention with a lyric video ☺

[xMarik]

This song and Burn Down My House have been on repeat for me every day since the album dropped. I just love hearing the line "Come see the world as it oughta be".

[SadboySpidey]

Okay that chorus is ridiculously addicting.

[Fanrose]

Really wish people would start giving Dan his credit for his songwriting. It's obviously not like Tom's more allegorical, point the finger to the big guy approach however it still has a place.
Dan has more of a down to earth, self reflective tone that emphasizes looking at yourself before judging the world. It's reminiscent to songs like 'Castle In the Air' and 'Follow The Water'. We really get best of both worlds with the Searle brothers

[kristoupetkow]

Idk why "hardcore fans" are crying. This album is lit and this song is a masterpiece. Bands should change styles and I think Architects are going in the right direction

[JuanCruzFabi]

If Architects releases a song that starts with "Doom" you know it's gonna be gold

[hugadarn]

Brilliant song, brilliant album, brilliant band.

[JackieSt]

Absolutely fantastic band, one of the best out there these days.

[stevenwolfe]

Bro architects.... This album slaps it puts ur last one to shame.

[sibusisojele]

All our gods have abandoned us is still gold
No album will ever degrade the uniqueness and power of this album.if you want to hear and feel a full craft of Architects listen to all our gods have abandoned us
That's where you will hear Sam's full potency and acuteness!

[Inkie]

This is amazing and honestly ngl I low-key want an orchestra version of this lol

[shadowfax]

Gives me old school Linkin Park vibes, could be on the meteora album just needs some mike shinoda verses

[Anthony-nriq]

In another 5 years where the average person requires therapy and rehab to detach themselves from there phones as they become more addictive.

This song will become huge and be used to fight against tech giants in the biggest revolution since skynet.

John connor.

[Skinnymuzik]

When the screen flashes starts to sync with the snare i was like dayuuum

[seanjxmes]

Love the leads in the song and Sams voice is mega on point I love that he's experimenting more with his vocals here.

[iphoeniximarco]

i cant get this song out of my head, its so good

[amybrawn]

This song is amazing, Love you Architects!

[misfitmaik]
