An Ordinary Extinction Lyrics by Architects

For Those That Wish to Exist

2021

[Verse 1]
Do you feel at home in limbo? (Limbo)
Hiding a broken vow
A phantom at the window (Window)
[Refrain]
Can you swallow the shame?
Has your courage been burnt out, faded away?
There won't be a saviour in sight, but it's okay
('Cause we're comfortable)
[Chorus]
We're stood at the edge of the world
Seize the snakes (The snakes)
They're living a lie
Blinded by a candle, they're saying goodbye
We're stood at the edge of the world
[Verse 2]
When the clock runs down to zero
We'll stand up and take a bow
So quick to play the hero
[Refrain]
Are you fanning the flames?
Are you torching the lighthouse stood in the way?
Complicity burning so bright, yet we delay
(Are you culpable?)
[Chorus]
Seize the snakes (The snakes)
They're living a lie
Blinded by a candle, they're saying goodbye
We're stood at the edge of the world
Drag the lake (The lake)
When the water runs dry
We'll be slaves to the anchor
The Devil may cry
We're stood at the edge of the world
[Post-Chorus]
We're stood at the edge of the world (World, world, world)
[Bridge]
Nothing is holy, we all take the blame
Crumbling slowly
The cliff face belongs to the ocean
So run for your life
Do you remember the tip of the spear?
The edge of the knife?
We're freshly dismembered, but won't shed a tear
So run for your life
[Chorus]
We're stood at the edge of the world
Seize the snakes (The snakes)
They're living a lie
Blinded by a candle, they're saying goodbye
We're stood at the edge of the world
Drag the lake (The lake)
When the water runs dry
We'll be slaves to the anchor
The Devil may cry
We're fighting to stay alive, how can we all survive?
No second chances, we're stood at the edge of the world
[Outro]
We're stood at the edge of the world, yeah
We're fighting to stay alive
