01. Node

Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Turn the knob to reveal the light.
Stare across the empty night.

Dark worlds engrossing... our sun is sleeping.
The dance has lost its step.
The teeth will be shown no more.
Alone, we find the escape.
(We walk and walk and walk)
Alone we risk it all.

Turn the knob to reveal the light.
Stare across the empty night.

The world has lost.
Our minds roam free.

02. The Coma Machine

Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
You teach us what was.
You teach us what was out there.
You teach us what was.
You teach us what was out there.
Lift our limbs to focus.
We soon drift through the night.

The getaway... we drought the cloud of life.
A quick escape to velvet.

Start to drift in slumber. Smoke fills the velvet room.

No more options to cope. A glimpse of the hanging rope.
Madness embrace the vault. Cannot wait any longer.
A string of light blink... mesmerize my senses.
A pulse that keeps me together for one last time.
No more options to cope. A glimpse of the hanging rope.
Madness embrace the vault. Cannot wait any longer.
A string of light blink... mesmerize my senses.
A pulse that keeps me together for one last time.

Lift our limbs to focus.
We soon drift through the night.
You teach us what was.
You teach us what was out there.
You teach us what was.
You teach us what was out there.

Travel through a string of tears.
Screams crash down like waves...
Flushing my mind of a new world.
(Afraid to open my eyes)
Climb the hill of the wrist... enter oblivion.
Oblivion.

Foreshadow the Shadow:
My last exhale...
Knees crash down on...

Now rewind.

You teach us what was.
You teach us what was out there.
You teach us what was.
You teach us what was out there.

What once was...

03. Dim Ignition

Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
An ancient figure crowds my focused path.
His lightning bolt eyes creep through my sights.

Render the dwellers with freedom.
Matter develops your kingdom.
Dim Ignition.

Walk reverse.

04. Famine Wolf

Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Grind down.
Blind taste.
Dripping ideas turn against our will.
Swallow the chosen soul.

One Animal.
Once lived... for life.

Human mist rise.
Sweet devouring teeth are sharpened.
Swallow the chosen soul.

One Animal.
Once lived... for life.
One Animal.
Once lived... for life.

The fifth resonating host...
sweaty palmed inside constant alert.
Blinking around the bubble of the paranoid.
We are all that's left. We will be enough.

One Animal.
Once lived... for life.
One Animal.
Once lived... for life.

Scour the earth. Turn the dirt red.
(This can't be our lifeline)

Anchored mind wind... across the fog.
We disgrace the pupil's sight.

A homeless meat...
the street markets replaced their souls.
Gripping our oldest thoughts...
society has me out cold.
It has me out in the cold.

Move the flesh over this rotten bone.
One more day.

This can't be our lifeline...

05. King Redeem / Queen Serene

Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
I can't hear a thing.
These waves crash faster.
I can't see a thing.
These arms grab for wonder.

Enter this widened space.
Inside our own small cage.

I can't hear a thing.
These waves crash faster.
I can't see a thing.
These arms grab for wonder.

King redeem.
Queen serene.
Dusk drifts by with one last try.

Clench... trapped... lids fold inside.
Blurred mind... dry tears foam from high.
Sleep walk past my cornea.
Eclipse washed out... unscathed.
Search for the formal stage.

I slip past my own mind.
A small gift taken from my time.

Mute mouth.
Mute mind.

Color spectrum false, invoke heart rate race.

Hysteria develops a hold.
Raging winds force the earth's.
symphony through my ears.
Clarity is not known.
A fortress blackened by a dissolving sun.
A visual memory vanishes.
Presence of hope intertwined.

A transcript lost from what we've taught.
To speak is not an act without our tongues.
The human race has been deformed.
A quilt of skin surrounds out lungs.

Build an arrow to force a grim corrupted turn.
Color spectrum is now false...
our eyes will see no more.

A transcript lost from what we've taught.
To speak is not an act without our tongues.
The human race has been deformed.
A quilt of skin surrounds out lungs.

Build a monster to bury the infected worm.
Color spectrum is now false...
our eyes will see no more.

Mute mouth.
Mute mind.

King redeem... Queen serene.
Blinded bells... the deafened sing.
Hysteria develops a hold.
Clarity is not known.

We cough the future.
We scratch the past.

Into the circular I grab the jagged gaze.
Color spectrum false invoke heart rate race.

A transcript lost from what we've taught.
To speak is not an act without our tongues.
The human race has been deformed.
A quilt of skin surrounds out lungs.

06. Turn On The Darkness

Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
The winters grieve evenly.
Flickering moments engage our senses.
Slowly trembling and venting.
They won't take notice.

Dragging feet. Will time notice me?

We turn our backs on ourselves.
Nothing in sight.

The Sighting:
I see a flame erupt in the distance.
The charted course towards my direction.
A wealth of moving light, they now seek my disguise.
Legs soon crack as they stand above/below.

The Exchange:
'Where do you drift from sir?
This land is for those who have lost.
Our humanity has passed its course...
we roam with all that's left.'

I come from a movable past.
A distant future is in my grasp.
You all will survive this fate.
Trust the man you gaze.

Take me with your flames.
Darkness.
Show the brighter way.
Hopeless.
Take in all. Sit with our teachings.

Above. Below.
Take in all...
Above. Below.
Sit with our teachings...

Dream tonight to push us forward.

Black ash improves me. Dark skies are hollow.

Above. Below.
Take in all...
Above. Below.
Sit with our teachings...

Dream tonight to push us forward.

Black ash improves me.
Can't look past the damage to this life.
Dark skies are hollow.
Can't look past the damage to this life.

The Torchbearer:
'Welcome to our journey. Please walk with me.
I'll put your mind at ease.
Our breath disrupts their flames.
We walk through their walls.
Life exists apart from this.'
The lone world drifts on and on.

In the distant light modern man awaits.
Dripping jaw accept our twisted travel.
Lose focus.
Screaming grins howl loud from high...
a gritty focus gripped.

We turn our backs on ourselves.
Nothing in sight.
We turn our backs on ourselves.
They won't take notice.

07. The Ectopic Stroll

Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Sit down please. Sir, what is your woe?
My thousand year old wisdom will help you grow...
The fantasy of the rewind.
I can dissect a man of your kind.

Please Doc I need help.
My walls are covered in velvet.

We can't get it right...

Old man.
Chopping at his block.
Old soul.
Sanding his work.
Lost land.
Hysteria in practice.
Lost hand.
Tumbling down the well.
Tumbling down the well.

Our troubled thoughts are drugged away.
No need for our sanity.

Let's now start over.
Let's begin our lives.
Go back to where we came from.
Let's now start over.
Let's begin our lives.
Your voice is silent.

Sit down sir and lend me your mind.
I'll twist and tinker every circuit that's inside.
This fantasy of your soul.
You'll soon accept all I know.

We can't get it right...

Speed up your joy.
We can't get it right.
We can't get you right.

Take me back to my past.

Let's now start over.
Let's begin our lives.
Go back to where we came from.
Let's now start over.
Let's begin our lives.
Your voice is silent.

Take me back to my past.

Darkness embracing.
Our sun is lifting.
You'll soon give up on this world...

The rising smoke awakens.
An all white room... Lifts me with its lights.
Nothing in focus. Curiosity is no more.
'Accept all we are given.
It is all here for a reason.'

A golden lever... A choice for gold or velvet.
Do I go on, or follow the robes in the smoke?
'Accept all we are given.
It is all here for a reason.'

Our last search.
Our shallow minds embrace this dream.
One last search.
To kneel in the famine room.
One last search.

You'll soon give up on the world.

08. Rapid Calm

Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Speak now old soul... Distant breathing.
Your choice soon exists.
Speak now old soul... A choice will soon be yours.
Speak your time.

Darkness embracing our sun.
Darkness embracing our sun.
The rising smoke awakens me...

A crest for the brave falls in the fog.
A light shines from a distant land of ghosts.
They don't want you there.
They don't want me here.
Remember my name?
The machine is crumbling.

A crest for the brave.
A light shines from a...
Enter oblivion.

Darkness embracing.
Our sun is lifting.
You'll soon give up on this world...

The rising smoke awakens.
An all white room... Lifts me with its lights.
Nothing in focus. Curiosity is no more.
'Accept all we are given. It is all here for a reason.'

A golden lever... A choice for gold or velvet.
Do I go on, or follow the robes in the smoke?
'Accept all we are given. It is all here for a reason.'

One last search.
Our shallow minds embrace this dream.
One last search.
To kneel in the famine room.
One last search.

You'll soon give up on the world.

09. Memory Palace

Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Awake me.
Stoic and ready. Living in levity.
Static entry.

Chatter has left me. A statue grown...
With intentions from my own.
I stutter on. Key driven.
A swollen breeze insults me.
The scent of a natural place.

Chatter has left. A statue grown...
With intentions from my own.
I stutter on. Key driven.
Horrid thoughts finally leave me.
Dismiss the notion of the unwanted force.

Static entry. Alone and free.

Awake me.
I never want to get out of here.
Visions of my past will disappear.
I never end.

Focus on melody.
The sounds under my eyes.
Dreaming inside of this world inside my mind.
Drift on.
Never end.

Static exit. Animate.

Tubes swim with my veins...
An orchestra of lights graze over my corpse.
Our souls are melting.
Immobilized limbs secret liquid smoke.
Fill the room with fear.
A losing act draws in the final wake.
Overcome 'the end'.

I did not, I did not want to come back.
I did not... Take me back.

It's over...

I sit drenched in the summary of my past.
Live in the name of the ghost.
I drift on.

Focus on melody.
The sounds under my eyes.
Dreaming inside of this world inside my mind.
Drift on.
Never end.

10. Option Oblivion

Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Real eyes...
A golden lever. A choice of gold or velvet.
Do I go on, or follow the crown in the smoke?
My last choice, derange my voice.
Real eyes...

The lever falls down so delicate.

Enlighten me.
I'll follow towards the smoke.
The wrenching of the rope.
I've always lost.
The idea of dreaming in a dream.
My vision is serene.
Please lift me up.

Breathe underwater.
Swim without limbs.

These new eyes will never suffer.
Enter the new wake.
Looking back through the painful tunnel...
They taught us what once was.
What once was.

New air opens my mouth.
Gasp a new breath.
What is this place? An alluring frontier.

11. Life In Velvet

Music & lyrics by Between The Buried And Me
Fresh air grips me.
Rolling hills on far.
The smell of the living. Awakens all I am.

Lift my limbs to focus.
Beauty is in sight.
The hours I cherished are now false.

My last exhale is purple smoke.
Knees crash down on velvet robes.

Dark worlds engrossing...
Our sun is sleeping.
