I'm not the writer
It's you For I'm drenched in error and silhouettes We've been on this same page before Together Forever Together as one It's all happening Embrace or implode A vortex of doubts and fears Colliding over and over again Rearing heads Fix the error Investigate Fix the error The mire city is oozing the struggles of humanity 02. The Double Helix Of Extinction Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Kleptomania
Hearsay is drawing blood Nature has lost its solace Welcome the scathing solution Comfort is the sore beginning of tragedy Our city has crept into your valley A feeble human form Spiraling down vacant streets The metallic leaves slosh under its barren soles Peering out Rain slides down our cancerous skin Burn, let the burn in The advertisement: Diminish Your Existence Our city has trashed your valley Our city has scorned your maker Neon trees are littered Strangling the passing season The old baron, too tall for the weak to survive A carnal howl silenced It cracks the surface of pestilence The advertisement... Our city has trashed your valley Our city has scorned your maker Comfort is the sore beginning of tragedy Our city has crept into your valley When are you from? Where did we run? Transcribing hope that quickly slips away Slips away "Remember the good ol' days"?, the robot would say Conjoin the collective day Atomic family Heal your mind I enter bliss Psychosis Digital bath, scrubbing us clean Feel the downfall Exfoliate We're our own leeches The cycle continues Ancient gardens seen in dreams We're on our own leashes Recycle Turning black and secreting secrets Of our past, the baron allows Dropping the poison in our fountain We all drink the collective doom Recycle Recycle our fear Our city will crumble Our city wears turmoil Our damning God strikes down We have scorned our maker (nature) Nature seeps into concrete It's up to us to reshape this course Between the buried and me 03. Revolution In Limbo Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
We didn't live, we only existed
Undo the worker The corporate vice turned inside out Exposed for what it truly is The horizon has just met the sun The days and nights have folded into one (Waiting a lifetime) Over and over Day in day out Monotonous drought The sights and sounds are all the same The smell of morning enters a declining brain One more step out of this door One more step to end this life We feel no more Rinse, repeat Rinse, repeat We are superior Drench yourself in our word Keep your eyes to the floor Follow the repressive maze Keep your eyes to the floor A city built on pain Drench yourself in our ideas Over and over Day in day out Monotonous drought We didn't live We only existed Top of the morning to you Keep your eyes to the floor Follow the dotted lines A maze created for productivity For us, for them A city built on your pain Cranes hanging your lifeless bodies The colors painting the canvas of our ancestors A city built on your pain Cranes hanging your lifeless bodies The colors painting the canvas of our ancestors Lost invitation The sights and sounds are all the same The smell of morning enters a declining brain Color the city of hurt We creak and sway with every turn The shouting minds whisper Don't sit long Old habits turn the line of the vultures Looking to collapse the position Peaking through, year after year They see your only weakness, And today they will start their feast A city built on your loss Obsessive to the point of panic You pushed your lifeline away Drift off into other lives A lost memory The city, they shine their production We've followed a contorted maze Stacking the kingdom in rubble Choking our failures again... and again... and again Age defeats, age defiles Your last breath tastes so sweet We are not meant to survive here We must move along Calling unto our dwellings We rot alone Age defeats, age defiles Your last breath tastes so sweet We are not meant to survive here We must move along Calling unto our dwellings... Over and over Day in day out Monotonous drought We didn't live We only existed 04. Fix The Error Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Break free from the maze
Watch the distant fires There's trust in what we've done Our shallow grave of freedom A new life that's just begun I'm the fortune teller, Who doesn't know his past Giving hope and new memories, To the future's rising sun We're here to bring it down Collapse society We were born for this It's time to celebrate Celebrate Break free from the maze Doom-scroll past this frame of mind The last of its kind We now have come alive The horror has ceased to be The guest is now free We are free The mountain is rising Fire blasts into the sea A storm is coming Red light Dark room If you see the rainbow, there is no tomorrow It's wrapped in plastic If you see the rainbow, there is no tomorrow Put your face inside it We're here to bring it down Collapse society We were born for this It's time to celebrate 05. Never Seen / Future Shock Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Water drags down
Dripping away your grime Your secret lives I'm on the outside Your secret lives The outside looking in A silhouette dragging through your minds Clean your well Catch up every once in a while Your secret lives I'm on the outside Your secret lives The exterior world seeps in quicker than it used to It all tends to catch up every once in a while A collective theory of invisible destruction Searching inward from the dangling lines The exterior world seeps in quicker than it used to Your fears and hopes, I take We multiply Embrace our own decay The storm is coming... We will never be at peace with ourselves Until we separate ourselves I read your words I smell your anxieties Used to turn us against one another A velvet room has a familiar smell The shamed dirt spills against your walls Beyond the looking glass Watching and listening, plotting I'll slither my way in and destroy from the inside Beyond the looking glass Clean it all away Plotting and spinning Clash with one another Ravens used to speak like us Peering in on the souls of Limbo City The storm is coming My storm is coming Your secret lives I'm on the outside The outside looking in Your fears and hopes, I take away We multiply We are driven by anger Linked together through an irrational outlook Lifelines are tethered in the blood of our eminent selves You have it, we want it I need it, you crave it Give us more now Our wills held against our complex truths We are initially fed the same fears Hooks in our backs, and impaled on the walls Trapped in our geometric nests of not giving a fuck We are initially fed the same fears The ants on our backs, they have dropped from the sky We will never be at peace with ourselves Until we separate ourselves Lift and corrode, the beginning of remembering Make us whole Our decisions will fix the story We will never be at peace until we separate ourselves Lift and corrode The beginning Fade as time marches on Your fears and hopes, I take We multiply Embrace our own decay The storm is coming... We will never be at peace with ourselves Until we separate ourselves 06. Stare Into The Abyss Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Life is love
Time is never lost Life is love Let it go and collect Seize these memories We never regret We never forget The dream can wash away We never regret I'm so scared I'll forget Time is never lost (empty space) Eyes turn away Inside out Into a space trained by your brain It's never enough It's never enough You'll regret the wish Let it go and collect your life before you die Embrace these memories We never regret 07. Prehistory Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
A rare delicacy
A dwindled spirit Will we be forced to sing with the fear? What will make it reinvent? Will it end? The first hearings The moment everything changed Creature feature A monster on the big screen Cinematic surprise Entice the eyes A hopeless murder The notes that raised the brow Sounds that brought back the dead I'll just take my yearly dreamscape and pretend Over and over again 08. Bad Habits Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
These words will be the end of me
These words bring a new life to me Stacked upon one another, yet I cannot grip I cannot grip These words render through a cosmic sea These words revoke our life to be Stacked upon one another, yet I cannot grip I cannot grip Contagion has shut down Ground control to minor 3rds Overtake and shed some sleep Harmony loves tragedy in our own jeopardy I cannot seem to say what I need They have my tongue Let's cut it out Can't speak over you My words keep losing meaning Maybe don't take it so serious Three syllables to complete a thought I get caught Becoming lost As words have quickly left me The winds howl around their lost souls today Stuck in a spectrum between the living and the dead Their open mouths enter the worms of the living Slither in and out The winds howl around their lost souls today Stagnant air lifts up the creature myth Stuck between life and death An order to connect and forget Time is evaporating Time is still I cannot seem to say what I need They have my tongue Let's cut it out In order to connect and forget Connect and forget Sleep on, fly on In our minds we can fly 09. The Future Is Behind Us Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Stuck in our last season
Bite off our headless fever Drifting and melting We hope you gravitate Please don't wave back I've severed (once again) in transparency Please just sit back Devour (once again) our broken disease Kill the writer Their eyes follow you Open the closed off circle Kill the writer Their eyes follow us Open the closed off circle Sorry for the last week of bringing you down My mind is to blame My mind is to blame What the fuck Stuck in our last season Bite off our headless fever Dripping and melting We hope you gravitate Locked in a place of grief I cannot find the proper balance Odd rhythms, they are killing me Yes, me and my brain Drip and melt Follow I made it through Sorry for the last month of bringing you down My mind is to blame My mind is to blame What the fuck Guilty memory 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Where's the bottom? Keep falling The future is behind our eyes Annihilate cleansing Disrupt Erasing The future is behind us Born of a dream I am Born of a dream We are lunatics Open wide and let the pill slide down Sink away from your nourishment Sorry for the last month of bringing you down My mind is to blame 10. Turbulent Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Turbulent
We make it through Weathered movement The clouds and storms Weathered movement in time We find ourselves Turbulent Get through this drab turbulence The writer claims a scratching line Keep up with it A constant delay Soon rectify Accelerating the mind Turbulent Get through this drab turbulence Translate our own transmission We've lived before and will once more The writer claims a scratching line These ants will soon rectify Sorry for the last week of bringing you down We make it through My mind is to blame, my mind is to blame The clouds and storms The writer claims a scratching line These ants will soon rectify our turbulence Get through this Finding the calming path Windless night into brighter lights We find ourselves Their eyes follow you Open the closed off circle Their eyes follow us Open the closed off circle 11.

12. Human Is Hell (Another One With Love) Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
*Day 14,511
I hope I'm still here when you read this I'm not the writer, but I've become the movement That tore out my needs I beg for the performance, and I never thought I would The dark water The horrid swells The heart pounding stroll that opens a box That always hid deep beneath my scattered eyes I beg for the performance, and I never thought I would The dark water The horrid swells Human is hell I've tried to overcome this Their hands keep dragging me down this hill Human is hell It seems to be miles long Years long But we will "break on through" as he once said Human is hell Human is hell and we are accepting Human is hell Group initiation to help ourselves Mentally Telepathically "Sometimes I wish I was dead", is what was said I realized the words came from my head We are not meant to survive here Leave your worries and your memories are not invited Praise the uncertainty and collective brain Collective brain Grab my hand and we will see the future Admiring the sanity that keeps us human The day dissolved With bleak reasonings and wretched smiles Breathe in fresh air as nature keeps warning us Never take this for granted We have destroyed and we will pay Pay for what we have done Human is hell The air has been smoke, and the sun hides As if its somber reflection could not face What we have achieved: Destruction Abomination It's in our wiring Giving new life to the apparatus I hope I'm still here when you read this I'm not the writer I've done nothing with time A viewing glass so divine Intwined in a fountain of evaporated youth Admiring the sanity that keeps us human The day dissolved Sing with me, for today is gone |
