Lyrics

I do my best but everything seems ominous
Not feeling blessed, quite the opposite
This shouldn’t feel so monotonous
It never rains but it pours

We’re just a bunch of fucking animals
But we’re afraid of the outcome
Don’t cry to me because the fiction that we’re living in
Says I should pull the pin

Should I just pull the pin?

I dug my heels
I thought that I could stop the rot
The ground gave way
Now I’ve lost the plot
Fucked it again
That was all I’ve got
It never rains but it pours

Life is just a dream within a….

Buried under dirt
A diamond in the mud
Infinity is waiting there
‘Cause nobody can burn a glass cathedral

….dream within a dream within a….

Architects and Ally Pally are.... A Match Made in Heaven.

More than 10 years ago I saw BMTH, Parkway Drive, Architects, and TDWP all one on tour. All of those bands are now gigantic, and still producing incredible music. Exceptionally grateful to have seen Architects live and know they're still kicking harder than ever.

[Thgrandfinale]

I'll be dying pretty mad if I don't get a chance to see this band live, they're so INCREDIBLE

[flowerfloc]

This was my first ever architects gig, and first metalcore show in general, travelled to the UK from the Netherlands. It was the best night of my fucking life, gosh I wish I could be back at this show again. Hope you guys are back in The Netherlands soon for some standalone shows besides festivals! Y'all saved my life.

im 53 yrs. old i love this band, these guys can do no wrong...they can do no wrong. change my mind.

[Narvie]

I can't think of many live performances that sound almost identical to the studio version, but this is definitely one of the best I've seen.

[stasysmikutavicius]

The way the crowd sings is something out of this world. Especially on the part Animals

[epokqc]

Nothing can unite people the way music do.

Although I’m not much a fan of their musical endeavors these days(been with them since Ruin), these guys once wrote music which will forever hold a special place in my heart. Watching them continue to push forward and find success makes me incredibly happy for them. RIP Tom 🖤 Never forget.

[mbliga]

I can’t remember how I found this band, but the day I did something changed inside me.

This needs to be on Spotify. Sounds amazing. Makes me miss Chester :P

I haven't seen Architects live for YEARS! I bet this song live absolute kills.
