lyrics

I keep my head down in the crowds, and wait for the right time to strike.
Only time can heal these scars they say, but I don’t think I have the time to wait.
I keep my head out of the clouds, and adjust to what it feels like.
To be a criminal in the waiting game, to hurt the innocent to numb my pain.

And now my conscience needs to take some time to rest.
I need to tear you up and hold you to my chest.
It has to be this way; I’ve passed the starting line.
I’ll brush the clouds tonight and I will be just fine.

But when tomorrow comes, I’ll start over again.
I’ll risk the nothingness to fly away again.
But still the emptiness is ripping through my soul.
Won’t you come back to me and drag me from this hole?

I made a bed for me to lie in, all the misery and pain is in the lining, pushing,
And all this sorrow never ceases, I can’t build a life with all these missing pieces, can’t you,
Appear to me and show me Heaven, show me proof that you are safely in his presence, and then,
Maybe then I can start believing, again, show me the light that I am craving, come back home...

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
