Animals (Abbey Road Version) - Architects

We've got a choice, but still we'd rather choose to suffer 'Cause there's no escape once the fuse is lit, locked in this pantheon Swimming with concrete shoes, the reaper comes to take the best of you Can you see the writing on the wall? Impermanence Impermanence Impermanence There is a subtle space that we'll all discover 'Cause there is a seat reserved for the spirit, passing through one by one Riding a torpedo, we wash away into the overflow Can you see the writing on the wall? We're barricaded 'cause nobody wants to meet their maker The seeds are sewn, then we die alone, we die alone Eviscerated, we're all players in a symphony That fights against impermanence again and again and again and again and again Again and again and again Do you really wanna live forever? Oh We are so lost staring into all the colour It hurts, but reality is counterfeit, we came from the beyond Living a cameo, one final breath and then we split in two Can you see the writing on the wall? We're barricaded 'cause nobody wants to meet their maker The seeds are sewn, then we die alone, we die alone Eviscerated, we're all players in a symphony That fights against impermanence again and again and again and again and again Even the doomed refuse We were born to lose Do you really wanna live forever? 'Cause those afraid to die will never truly live They'll never truly live Even the doomed refuse We were born to lose Do you really wanna live forever? We're barricaded 'cause nobody wants to meet their maker The seeds are sewn, then we die alone, we die alone Eviscerated, we're all players in a symphony That fights against impermanence again and again and again and again We are barricaded 'cause nobody wants to meet their maker The seeds are sewn, then we die alone, we die alone Eviscerated, we're all players in a symphony That fights against impermanence again and again and again and again and again

Burn the altar built by the dollar sign, those waters are shallow That's why the kids all say, "Get the fuck out of our way" 'Cause we're picking up the slack, taking power back Yeah, they made a bed out of our bones, said it's all just overblown It doesn't matter if you're friend or if you're foe Do you really think you wanna be saved? I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow Everything is fucking fine We can dance, we can all sing along We can say how we all wanna be saved, but it's easier to follow I wanna sing you a different song, onе that's easier to swallow We all say that we wanna be saved, but it's easier to follow There are vultures preaching the party line, those goldmines are hallowed And if we look away, then we'll all have hell to pay So we cover up the tracks, there's no going back Yeah, I know that Rome was overthrown, but it wasn't done alone And you would think that we were better off below Were you hoping that the dead could be raised? I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow Everything is fucking fine We can dance, we can all sing along We can say how we all wanna be saved, but it's easier to swallow I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow We all say that we wanna be saved, but it's easier to follow If we miss the deadline We can always blame the Divine Gripping knives and praising lowlives Nobody could say with a straight face they didn't have it coming They fucking had it coming They fucking had it coming I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow We can dance, we can all sing along We can say how we all wanna be saved, but it's easier to follow I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow We all say that we wanna be saved If we miss the deadline We can always blame the Divine Gripping knives and praising lowlives Nobody could say with a straight face they didn't have it coming

Oh... One, two, three, four We're separated by a margin of a greater degree The same flesh and blood, but in a different lane I've read the remedy too But my words, they still sounded the same When we were young We thought we had the whole world figured out Now all we do is speak in tongues We play a losing game Only now we hear the shouts fading out We flew into the sun (oh) We flew into the sun I'm dedicated to the shadow that's been following me It caught me counting the cards, I guess the rules remain Oh, it was heavenly then But the devils were calling my name When we were young We thought we had the whole world figured out Now all we do is speak in tongues We play a losing game Only now we hear the shouts fading out We flew into the sun Is there something in your eye? Did you fall, or were you just on a high? Everybody's so afraid they could die But they never once said, "Thank God we're alive" (oh) Is there something in your eye? Did you fall, or were you just on a high? Everybody's so afraid they could die But they never once said, "Thank God we're alive" When we were young We thought we had the whole world figured out We flew into the sun We thought we had the whole world figured out Now all we do is speak in tongues We play a losing game Only now we hear the shouts fading out We flew into the sun
