Architects - Follow The Water Lyrics






Can I blame it on you?
I just can't win

Two years spent wondering through the loneliest of minds
Can't seem to find a good excuse this time, for me and for this to fall apart
Shall I blame it on myself, or this routine that I've been stuck in?

I've lost count of how many times I've tried to get out of this routine
But it's holding so tight

I just can't handle another day of this
I just can't win

Get me out alive

Oh God, I mean it
These are violent days for you and me
I just can't handle another day of this routine

Two years spent wondering through the loneliest of minds
I've found my excuse this time
Your words are wearing me down
A constant frown upon my back

Follow the water
Drain the lake and bring it back to me

  1. h.... ....

    Man they really should have done a 10 year anniversary tour for this album but they really seem set on burying this part of their career which is a shame Hollow Crown is one of their of not their best album.

  2. L.... C....

    His screams, although dope, definitely don't sound healthy in this. You can tell how much he's improved over the years, he probably got vocal lessons as well.

  39. K.... O....

    Rock In Peace, Tom

  40. M.... G....

    Tom was an incredible guitarist and seemed like a sound dude. It was so upsetting hearing the news of his death. May he rest in peace and all the best and love for this amazing band.

    M.... G....

    👆🖒👏

    M.... G....

    I meet Tom and Sam at the masquerade in Atlanta Ga great guys he will be missed

    M.... G....

    Dude same here rob! It was a long time ago. Back when architects were playing at the masquerade with BMTH, Norma Jean, The Chariot and others. Such an amazing show and people.

  41. E.... ....

    Who is Tom here? :(

    E.... ....

    he's the lead guitarist.

    E.... ....

    So, he's wearing the gray shirt right?

  43. M.... B....

    Rest in Peace Tom, you legend.

  44. c.... ....

    Watching this video today (21/08/16), this video was the first time I met Tom. Blown away by how humble and down to earth a man could be. A extremely talented guitarist and even more talented songwriter. These songs are your legacy.

  45. t.... ....

    Tom :(
    <3

  46. S.... S....

    R.i.p Tom!

  47. B.... 1....

    still listening it in 2016 <3

  48. S.... ....

    I wish they would still play this song live. But Sam doesnt like this old album anymore :(

    S.... ....

    They started their European tour yesterday. the song is in the setlist.
    I'll go tomorrow :)

    S.... ....

    @Gianni De Rooze yeah when I saw them they werent headlining so they played less songs and skipped this one :( and now they canceled their US tour so I missed them. Damn it!

    S.... ....

    I've seen them every year since 2013 and follow the water has always been on the setlist. Although I live in Europe.

    S.... ....

    They still play this, but outro only

    S.... ....

    They played early grave when I saw them last year but that was it as far as old albums really 😕

  49. D.... J....

    such an amazing album! who's still blasting this in 2016?

    D.... J....

    Daniel J 2018

  50. O.... ....

    Architects... Tearing down churches since Hollow Crown! XD

  51. i.... ....

    Follow the wotah

    i.... ....

    +HIHisLife lol

    i.... ....

    HIHisLife 😂😂😂

    i.... ....

    That's how we say it 😂

  52. H.... ....

    I swear to God, for the longest time I thought that was PBG on guitar!!!

    H.... ....

    What do you mean

  53. M.... M....

    I miss the old Drop Dead clothing ..

    M.... M....

    Funny I was tinking "How could I have wear this ?!". Guess we were all young once :D

  54. j.... r....

    good old days when i was 15- 16 , going to the local gig venue every friday and saturday night, where we all used to wear drop dead drink monster .... good old days now im 21

    j.... r....

    hardly that long ago haha

    j.... r....

    Wow hardcore

    j.... r....

    Yaaas is soo weird to evolve with theses bands and listen something old af and see de evolution in a band and how cheap and shitty they used to sound but back at time this was the shit hahahaha

  55. a.... ....

    I love how Sam Carters voice are a lot thicker and raw-er nowadays

    a.... ....

    Now he uses False Chord screaming style, whilst back in those days that was simply yelling (emotional,but hell,after even one show of screaming like this your voice will be completely destroyed at least for several days).

  56. L.... J....

    This instrumental is so fucking complex! COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from whatever mainstream metal instrumental you're going to hear! And the screams with powerful lyrics! I almost passed out the first time I heard this song! ARCHI MOTHERFUCKING TECHTS!!

  57. K.... B....

    This band gives me goosebumps

  58. �.... ....

    かっこいい

    �.... ....

    @よしだかずお いいですよね?

  59. A.... M....

    Architects are fucking awesome!

  60. G.... C....

    go vegan!!!

    G.... C....

    yeahhh!!

  61. r.... m....

    nice instrumental shitty emocore voice

    r.... m....

    go to a live show or watch one of their impericon live vids, his voice is unbelievable

  62. W.... ....

    i miss it when the music scene was like this, now everyone just pulls out their damn iphones most of the time and dont even move like what the fuck

    W.... ....

    Haha not me, these songs are made to move and to mosh the shit out of you!  But you're right, also a lot of fangirls/boys who don't even know half of the songs they play!

    W.... ....

    nah i go to a lot of metalcore shows still and there's always a few people taking pictures n shit but the majority of people go hell for leather in the pits and there's no phones to be seen

    W.... ....

    bro same

  63. G.... G....

    sounds like oliver sykes dude...a lot!

    G.... G....

    yeah but sam sings much better

    G.... G....

    +Geber Gomez apparently Sam taught Oli how to scream like this years ago

    G.... G....

    Sam uses the Screamo Yell in this song as Oliver does usually in his songs. But Sam screams better than Oli.

    G.... G....

    +Geber Gomez More like Oli Sykes sounds a lot like Sam Carter :)))

  64. f.... ....

    WAS F*CKING AMAZING... NO WORDS

  65. f.... ....

    ARCHITECTS YESTERDAY IN LISBON... COMEBACK SOME MORE TIMES PLEEEEEASE.... we all LOVE you... cheers

  66. �.... �....

  68. Z.... J....

    R.... G....

    They are Christian from I understand.

  70. M.... ....

    one of the best by architects. keep coming to this video when i want to listen to them.

  71. S.... J....

    I'll be seeing you guys in March in Sheffield :)

  72. c.... ....

    WHY ARENT THESE GUYS 10* BIGGER THAN THEY ARE!

  73. J.... ....

    Damn I want his shirt haha

    J.... ....

    im pretty sure it's from dropdeadclothing :)

  74. p.... ....

    I've seem them in concert and they're actually better live.

    p.... ....

    Every time I have watched this video I've said the same thing. I LOVE that shirt it's so sick.

    p.... ....

    I've seen them 4 times, soon to be 5. This band is fucking everything, the music, the vocals, fucking everything. So good

    p.... ....

    they suck now

    p.... ....

    @paul Do you still think they suck now?

  75. B.... l....

    Just found this band, there awesome!

  76. B.... H....

    If you can't hear them, why are they so awful? How do you know they exist?

    Or maybe it's just the "stupid low notes" that you can't understand? It's the same concept with fast rap, people that don't listen to it alot won't pick up on the words as fast.

    That being said... some vocalists that do gutterals and whatnot don't use words, they just make noises. Sikfuk is one that comes to mind.

  77. S.... D....

    They're not screaming they're yelling.

  78. M.... D....

    These are probably my favorite band that screams, along with Your Demise (early stuff) and Dead Swans and Converge, because they scream high, when bands do squeals and stupid low notes you can't hear, it's awful.

  79. E.... C....

    eh Dio porco ve lo scrivo in italiano un po di cattiveria mettetecela ogni tanto dio caneeee

  80. d.... ....

    haha you're quite the aggressive one aren't you?

  81. G.... C....

    Fuck U.

  82. M.... P....

    0:20 Sam's face :D

  83. e.... c....

    no. just no. to get rid of the best vocalist ever? no.

  84. x.... ....

    2:47 Eargasm! *-*

  85. H.... M....

    Fuckin' amazing!

  86. T.... ....

    you're doing it wrong.

  87. L.... F....

    this came out in 2009 and for four years ive been looking for a band that can make a music video like this. wtf?!!!

  88. G.... Y....

    sam's shirt "^U^"

  89. t.... m....

    the energy hits you right out of the screen:)

  90. M.... A....

  91. M.... A....

    it just takes some getting used to, hes such a good lyricist though

  92. v.... m....

    I just can't win !

  93. D.... ....

    THE SINGER IS WEARING A DROP DEAD T-SHIRT!!!

  94. v.... ....

    His voice was the reason i started listening to this band.
