BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME LYRICS

1. Foam Born: (A) The Backtrack

I will just keep waiting...
you will just keep waiting. In the cold...
The supplement...
we lost some friends...
we drove the bends...
so small...

A conscious decision to persuade ourselves amongst the common human...
The drive to complete ourselves has become a blurry vision.
Always wanting more...
bettering ourselves through selfish minds.
it has started to overflow.
A current that creates this undertow...
swimming beneath it all...

2. Foam Born: (B) The Decade Of Statues

I will just keep waiting...
you will just keep waiting.
I will just keep waiting...
You will just keep waiting.
I will just keep waiting...
You will just keep waiting.
I will just keep waiting...
Obsession.
Obsessive.
Obsessed.
Abscess.
Obsession.
Obsessive.
Obsessed.
Abscess.
Rip out my fucking eyes.
I can’t watch you grow into this.
I can’t watch the young turn to all of this.
Their eyes left wide...
Night goggles instead of sleep.
night goggles instead of sleep.
Live life...you have all helped me break from this...
the few times relaxation steps in bringing me a peaceful place.
Live life... you have all helped me break from this...
The few times relaxation steps in bringing me a peaceful place.
It’s a must these days, for the colors are fading.
It’s a must these days, for the colors are fading.
It’s a must these days, for the colors are fading.
It’s a must these days, for the colors are fading.
Enclosed in a space of soothing sounds.
Walking in my own movie...
The fly by with no remembrance.
Constant rushing...
The waves have pushed me to where I need to be.
Walking in my own movie...
The fly by with no remembrance.
Constant rushing...
the waves have pushed me to where I need to be.
Sunlight drenched on my skin...
Only the sounds of what my mind wants to hear.
Block out the rush hour...
block out the tired herds...
Only the sounds of what my mind wants to hear.
Block out the rush hour...
Block out the tired herds...
On the shaded side, it’s starting to affect the process of your reading eyes.
An aggressive need for a hostile voice is creeping away...
this block happens every year...
and like I said before the color keeps fading.
This block happens every year...
I couldn’t trade this for anything in the world...
This block happens every year...
And all of you are the reason.
This block happens every year...
It’s been a while since we’ve written each other and hopefully this will comfort you.
‘Cause like most of my kind, I won’t take it all for granted.
I will just keep waiting...you will just keep waiting.
It’s a must these days, for the colors are fading.
It’s a must these days, for the colors are fading.
It’s a must these days, for the colors are fading.

Construction paper traffic...corner office destruction.
The cityscape burns brighter by the hour.
Clock tower: bring us, bring us all, bring us all, bring us all down.
Marching like ants to the foundation of a higher form.
Trash.
Capped and smothered.
Trash bag.
Trash hat.
Wrinkle-free clients of doom.

Wrinkle-free clients of doom.
Feed me fear.
Informal gluttony.

Construction paper lawns...force-fed attention grabber...
When will you learn?
First come, first serve.
The all you can eat trumpet...playing the tunes of our death.
The all you can eat trumpet... playing the tunes of our death.
Breathe... now blow.
Now blow.
Now blow.
Breathe... now blow.
Now blow.
Now blow.
Let it be heard.
Let it be heard.
The preacher’s talent is going through the airwaves.
I need to be led in the right direction.
The little kids taught me well...
But I wonder why they don’t listen anymore.
It’s a television nightmare.
Eat and watch, eat, eat, eat... what they feed.
Corner office tubes...give me the best view in the hut.
Feed me fear.
Informal gluttony.
Feed me fear.
Feed me fear.

4. Sun Of Nothing

Everywhere I look, they are there...
What is everyone doing?
Going to a home?
Everywhere I look, they are there...
What is everyone doing?
Going to a home?
To a place that makes us feel warm...
A place that grants us a smile.
Grants us a smile.
Seems like a very simple idea, but not hardly figured out.
I just see faces.
Faces staring blank as they go on with the routine.
I just see faces.
Faces staring blank as they go on with the routine.
This routine.
Nothing new... it’s time to go through with this.
This routine.
Nothing new... it’s time to go through with this.
This routine.
Nothing new... it’s time to go through with this.
A spaceman.
That’s what they say I am.
Nothing but a spaceman...
A spaceman.
That’s what they say I am.
Nothing but a spaceman...
Always pushing it all away.
Trying to get to that one place I call home.
The journey begins... forcing a new life with the unexplained...
A creeping rush that surrounds me.
Floating away.
Floating away.
Floating away.
Floating away.
Floating away.
Always pushing it all away.
Trying to get to that one place I call my home.
My own planet... I allowed this wish...
Unexpected... not knowing why.
Now knowing why.
Wonder why I question it now?
I’m my own planet...
Not many can experience this sensation.
Loneliness is creeping out...
Or in, however you think of it.
But it sure is surrounding me.
Maybe all the complaining is an occurrence of boredom.
I suppose it’s too late.
I am floating farther.
I am floating farther and farther away.
I am floating farther.
I am floating.
I did love, I did laugh, I did live.
A spaceman.
They say I am... a spaceman.
They say I am...
A spaceman.
They say I am... a spaceman.
They say I am...
Planets everywhere... my own destiny...
I’m floating towards the sun, the sun of nothing.
Floating towards the sun, the sun of nothing.
I have become the sun of nothing.
Nothing is here.
Memories are not clear.
I’m floating towards the sun, the sun of nothing.
Floating towards the sun, the sun of nothing.
Floating, floating, floating to the sun... farther away.
I can’t believe that’s what it has come to...
I never really had it all that bad.
I just looked around and never thought about the blank stares.
Blank stares.
They were looking into something much worse than what I thought I was.
Selfishness is a very sticky quality of this species.
Looking around... I don’t see any faces...
Yes, I am lonely.
It’s to be expected.
It’s to be expected.

5. Ants Of The Sky

I’ll sleep now.
My teeth taste funny today...they seem more jagged than normal.
I’ve been told, I’ve been told, I’ve been told that I have been grinding them like gears during my dream hours...
I wonder if it’s just my thoughts fusing into one frequent dream...
One which parts with the night, the night.
I saw them dragging the other day, other day.
Scraping their knees...
Seems the high horse is taking them all home...
I can’t leave myself out.
Seems the high horse is taking them all home...
I can’t leave myself out, self out.
Why should we sleep today...
Why should we awake tomorrow?
We can just pop back a few and drift through this pre-programmed flight.
We can just pop back a few and drift through this pre-programmed flight.
Across all oceans... a windy, noisy trek...
Across all oceans... a windy, noisy trek...
This seems to be what I’ve needed.
Across all oceans... a windy, noisy trek...
Across all oceans...a windy, noisy trek...
The view used to be better...lands are growing into one.
We wanted it this way.
We were brought up to grow into one.
We were brought up to grow into one.
I’m going to fly up soon and seek other lands.
The soothing air of flight...
A bird’s eye view into what I’ve always imagined life could be.
Will it be sought after?
It might just be useless writing and ideas that laziness will corrupt in the end.
Bones of dust need hardening.
I think the prescription.
I think the prescription is found.
Sleep on...
Sleep on... fly on.
In your mind, you can fly.
Sleep on...
Sleep on... fly on.
In your mind, you can fly.
Sleep on...
Sleep on... fly on.
In your mind, you can fly.
Sleep on...
Sleep on...fly on.
In your mind, you can fly.

My teeth grin oddly today...
They seem to gleam more than normal.
Maybe it will be noticed.
Walking dead.
Walking dead.

6. Prequel To The Sequel

The headless lover of three...
an unspeakable affair...
The lady on the hill creates a glorious departure from her everyday, her everyday life.
Constant swelling of the ankles...
A pleasant cry for help...
A pleasant cry for help...
A pleasant cry for help...
She began to unfold her story.
A grieving widow mothered this headless wonder.
A perfect crime, that soon lived on.
A different life it had to develop...
Gripped by every limb it could hold, the lifeless ideas, it grew onto its own.
A much needed surrender.
Trees soon started to grow from what seemed a lifeless neck...
From a monster to a beauty in quick months...
its life seemed to be on its way to a rare freedom.
It decided it should take advantage, advantage of this idea, of this idea.
A mixture of plantings soon took course in its body...
A spectacle none-the-less.
Walking proud through life, letting its branches guide the way.
A path which seemed to be covered in sunshine...
It must be human, for its qualities seem to outdo even the grandest occupant of the town...
This started to catch the attention of the un-branched...
It had never experienced an affection of this kind...
A wonderful and frightening new obstacle in its life.
this started to catch the attention of the un-branched...
it had never experienced an affection of this kind...
a wonderful and frightening new obstacle in its life.
Years went by as it finally found true love...
the love of others...three to be exact.
Letting them into every secret...feeding from every branch...
every part used for their lives...
It noticed its walking seemed more staggered than normal.
The breeze didn’t flow like it used to...
the heart seemed to pound slower and slower...
what caused this?
What caused this?
It soon was noticed that these three had torn every branch, every single stem...
torn to its last life...
How hadn’t it noticed a drastic change in the surroundings...
It didn’t think anything could go this wrong.
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
It thought life was constant.
Happiness, if constant happiness was all that was given out.
It thought life was constant.
Happiness, if constant happiness was all that was given out.
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
“Comfort.”
hints and all, they did as they pleased...
And now it’s starting to wilt away.

8. White Walls

The monsters are made, and we have proven that we will be one of them.
The whores take the stage...
The whores take the stage...flash our skills...
Gotta draw ‘em in... gotta keep ‘em on their toes, on their toes...
Don’t show them how you truly are... who would want honesty...
Who would want a group of people that one can relate with?
Don’t show them how you truly are... who would want honesty...
Who would want a group of people that one can relate with?
We need worship.
We need worship.
We need devotion...
becoming gods from the image that is thrown...
thrown out in their everyday lives to comfort...
We need devotion...
Becoming Gods from the image that is thrown...
Thrown out in their everyday lives to comfort...
It’s not a musical journey anymore...
they chose Camilla and we stood by her the entire time...
monotonous expression...a forced replica of a tired sound...
puppets for a greed-driven carnival...
the same charade as the passing years...
Force me out there.
Don’t give them a chance.
Don’t give them a chance.
They want to be fed...fed a simple replication of past greatness.

We just need to throw some new ideas in...
It will eventually get out of this closed off circle we are part of...
Get out of this closed off circle...
Get out of this closed off circle...
It’s all the same.
This is all we have when we die.
It’s what’s left of us when we die.
We will be remembered for this.
We will be remembered for this.
We will be remembered for this.
We will be remembered for this.
The same.
White wall.
White wall.
White wall.
White wall.
