Lyrics
I wanna bother God
I wanna feel the ground beneath my feet
But I’ve got a smile full of broken teeth
Goodbye
All the doves have flown away
I must’ve lost myself, lost myself, lost myself
I know it’s not enough
Why does defeat always taste so bittersweet
I just wanna live and die in peace
The flower that never blossoms is quickly forgotten
It must be gold if it’s glistening
I must’ve lost myself, lost myself, lost myself
Goodbye
All the doves have flown away
I must’ve lost myself, lost myself, lost myself
Fly high
‘Cause the ravens are here to stay
I must’ve lost myself, lost myself, lost myself in a cloud of
Dead butterflies

Empty stadiums doesn't mean you couldn't fill our hearts in these times.

Imagine being at Royal Albert Hall with Architecs in front and an orchestra behind. 🎸🎼

I wish to exist in a world where the lads release new songs every week

Tom would be absolutely fucking proud of you, Dan.
-
I honestly hate that people make the best music when they are going through pain, heartbreak, or other emotional hell. Thank you for sharing.

"I just wanna live and die in peace." Tom's still here.

Dan Searle : drums, keys, lyrics, production. He deserves some huge recognition

I feel a bit silly leaving a comment but, by the off chance Dan may see this, I just wanted to say thank you. This songs really touched me in a special way. In December 2020 I lost my older sister to a murder suicide and it’s been really hard to cope with it and why it even happened. This song is really beautiful and speaks to me. I’m so sorry for your loss Dan, I know it’s been a few years now but, this song brings me to tears and you’ve moved me, Thank you.

I remember saying "February is so far away, I won't make it until then" ... And now it's just around the corner. Love how the Royal Albert Hall footage was so good they reused it for this.

This song got me harder than a Metapod fighting another Metapod
-
This song is giving me "When the main character sacrifices himself for the greater good" vibes
-
Now this needs an orchestral
-
I'm happy they released this one as a single. The way it was played during the livestream was incredible and so full of emotion. 💙

Lost my aunt to cancer the day of my daughters birth only 12 hours apart. My heart was divide and not at ease. But I remember my daughter being born on a gloomy dark cold windy day, and out of no-where, a butterfly visits our window. Till this day i believe my aunt was there, with beautiful creation.. 🦋
