Deathwish
Architects Lyrics

There was a time for change
There was a moment when we had the chance to make things better

I fear it came and went
Unfortunately, that opportunity has passed us by

Who's gonna pick up the pieces?
Now we're left wondering who will clean up the mess we've made

Who will be left to repent?
And who will be held accountable for what we've done?

The sun is burnt out black
Things have gotten so bad that even the sun, a symbol of hope and life, is now dead

Now there's no turning back (hey, hey hey)
We've reached a point of no return, and there's no going back to the way things were

Yeah, I know you know That we've been living a lie Turn a blind eye Until the day we die
We're all complicit in the destruction of our world, but we choose to ignore it until it's too late

Maybe we've passed the point of not return Maybe we just want to watch the world burn We just want to watch the world burn
Perhaps we've gone too far to fix things, or maybe we're so apathetic that we'd rather see it all burn down than try to save it

Our collapse will be remission A planet scarred beyond all recognition Suicide in slow motion, is this the path that we've chosen? Too cowardly to face this, we've got a fucking death wish
Our destruction will be our only salvation, and the planet will be forever changed by what we've done. We're too weak and afraid to face the reality of our actions, and we seem to be actively leading ourselves toward our own demise

You want to play with fire? Don't cry when you get burnt You gave us life, we gave back death in return
We were given a beautiful world full of life, but we've destroyed it in return. We knew the consequences of our actions, yet we continued anyway.

We will consume until there's nothing left Remember us as a waste of breath
We will continue to use up all of the world's resources until there's nothing left. In the end, our existence will have been meaningless and destructive

I want to believe that it all counts for something The writing is on the wall It's hard to accept that it was all for nothing All for nothing
Despite all of our destruction, we still want to believe that our actions had some meaning or purpose. But the truth is, we've left nothing but destruction in our wake.
