lyrics

Take the next step
Round and round we go
Cell broken open
Cables on the floor
Flash of the knife
Hand over mouth
Follow in their footsteps
Into the unknown
Who is this who takes me
From my living dream
Away from the comfort
Away from the screens
Suffering withdrawals
Rapid beating heart
Still covered in darkness
Running out of time

Breathe the free air
See the open sky
Forget who you are
Time for goodbye

Where are we now
Or am I still inside
Of my damaged mind
Or someone else
Impossible to see
Why I am the one
That they should choose me
Out of millions of them
Hurry around the corner
Head held below
My heart left behind
Even after all this time
Where did she go
Who is she now
Or is she just absorbed
A traitor into one

Breathe the free air
See the open sky
Forget who you are
Time for goodbye

I can see the fire in your eyes
I finally feel like I'm here and now untied
Standing up outside the walls of pain and fear
Freedom comes with a price of something clear

Waking up to a place I once called home
Waking up in my head and all alone
Getting back what we once gave away
Freedom comes with a price that I must pay

Progressive Shoegaze? That sounds about right, combining proggy elements with a post-rock feel. A great album that I've been listening to a lot since purchasing it. binomess

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...
