Doomsday
Architects Lyrics

Remember when Hell had frozen over?
Do you remember when everything in your life seemed to be going wrong?

The cold still burns underneath my skin
The pain you felt in that moment still stays with you, even after all this time.

The water is rising all around me
Everything around you is getting worse and you feel like you're drowning.

And there is nothing left I can give
You've given everything you have and you don't know what else to do.

All these tears I've shed
The sadness and pain you've experienced have been overwhelming.

I saw the wildfire spread
You watched as things got progressively worse, feeling helpless to stop it.

You said you cheated death
Someone close to you who experienced a close call or survived something dangerous.

But Heaven was in my head
Despite their close call, you can't shake the feeling of hopelessness and despair.

They say "the good die young"
It seems like the world is unfair in that the people who don't deserve to suffer are the ones who do.

No use in saying "what is done is done" 'cause it's not enough
You can't erase the pain you've experienced by telling yourself that it's in the past now.

And when the night gives way
When you're in your darkest moments, feeling like there's nothing left for you, something new and painful starts over again.

It's like a brand new doomsday
It feels like the end of the world every time your life takes a turn for the worse.

What will be will be
There's a sense of resignation that whatever happens is out of your control and you just have to accept it.

Every river flows into the sea, but it's never enough
Even when everything around you is overwhelming, it's never enough to quench the pain you feel.

The embers still glow when I'm sober
Even when you're not actively in the midst of your pain, the memories and emotions still haunt you.

The gold in the flame burns brighter now
Even in the midst of the pain, you can see glimmers of hope and a brighter future.

I have to rebuild, now it's over
Despite everything that's happened, you have to find a way to pick yourself back up and move forward.

Maybe now I'm lost, I can live
The pain and confusion can actually help you to feel alive and give you a sense of purpose.

Souls don't break, they bend
Despite everything you've been through, you're not completely broken - you're just hurt and trying to recover.

But I sometimes forget
Even though you know you're not completely broken, it's hard to remember that when everything feels like it's going wrong.

I have to do this for you
You have to keep going and living in order to honor someone that you've lost or someone who is still fighting.

And the only way out is through
The only way to get past the pain is to go through it and face it head on.

Words the prophets said
You're reminded of times when people have falsely prophesized that things will get better, and it hasn't happened yet.

Still swimming through my head
Even though you know it's not true, you can't shake the feeling that things will never get better.

Now there's no stars left in the sky
Everything seems bleak and without hope.

'Cause this well will never run dry
The pain and grief will always be a part of your life, and you'll never be able to escape it completely.

What if I completely forget?
The pain is so overwhelming that it's hard to imagine a time when you'll be able to move past it.

What if I never accept?
Even if you do come to terms with what's happened, you still may never truly accept it.

'Cause when you fade away
When someone you love or something you care about slips away from you or comes to an end, it feels like the pain will never stop.

No matter what they say
Even though other people may offer reassurance, it feels like the pain and hopelessness will never go away.
