Your life is ending one minute at a time
Check the clock and stand in line.
Hibernate 'til your life's passed you by.
Please stop living like you're waiting to die.
Keep up, keep up,
Don't get left behind
Don't slip up, slip up
Chase that finish line
They don't want you believing
That your life deserves a meaning.
Weary souls trying to forget.
That we're all puppets with a lifetime debt.
What a feeling built to break,
Happiness with an expire date.
Please stop living like you're waiting to die.
Please stop living like you're waiting to die.
Stitched into our lives
Drained until we expire.
Weary souls trying to forget
That we're all puppets with a lifetime debt.
We're all weary souls trying to forget.
Keep two eyes on that intangible finish line.
In this race we're all reduced to vermin.
Keep two eyes on that intangible finish line.
In this race we're all reduced, we're all reduced to vermin.
Stitched into our lives.
Drained until we expire.

The sick get sicker while the rich get richer.
Capital greed paired with vestigial superstition.
The sick get sicker while the rich get richer.
Angels and demons, money and munitions.
Your left wing clipped,
buy a gun for jesus.
Opportunities for all those willing to pay.
Out of sight, out of mind,
too afraid of the horror that you might find.
Out of sight, out of mind.
How much does your faith cost?
Celestial shepherd watches over his flock.
What about those black sheep that he forgot?
Unanswered faith is everything that they’ve got.
I’d like to think you’re everything that I’m not.
Something here doesn’t add up.
Your charity starts and ends at home.
Your conscience called but you hung up the phone.

Architects are a British metalcore band from Brighton, England. At the moment they are my most favorite band - I did not really like them before they released their latest album "Daybreaker", at that time it was not the music I liked and for me, lyrics are an important component, and their lyrics never really made me keel over, but now I am just stunned, how critical and honest their new album is. The lyrics can really open one's eyes but sadly, I guess that I am one of the few who really care about the background of a song.
