The wind seems to have stopped The sounds erase A spaced glitch Full stop Into our void I join and gaze above Slowly the bodies around me start floating Entwined and in sync I\u2019m sheltered, so sheltered, and separate Calloused circular misery This place is the plan? The wind seems to have stopped The sounds erase A spaced glitch Full stop To be nothing Bring back the altar Absent thereafter In space I fear tomorrow Clashing with our sorrow To be nothing Escaping Absent thereafter Full of coil To be nothing Escaping Absent thereafter Full of coil Your smiles pull in from every line Seems to happen every time Pulling back like a lost invite Now look, I can\u2019t BE tonight Into our constant void Belong, to what end? Embrace my existence There is only silence Embrace my existence Watch as it\u2019s been pushed away That\u2019s where the good stuff lies There is only silence We come here to lie To ourselves To be nothing Absent thereafter Escaping Full of coil To be nothing Absent thereafter Your smiles pull in from every line Seems to happen every time Pulling back like a lost invite Now look, I can\u2019t BE tonight It\u2019s happening Bad medicine Here we go again I\u2019ll always win Coming to terms Floating amongst the others It comes back full circle Speak when spoken to Looking beyond our mirrors Pushing through, pushing through Further and further Floating amongst the others It comes back full circle Speak when spoken to Looking beyond our mirrors Pushing through, pushing through Further and further The moon speaks Loudly Goodnight _ BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME online: https:\/\/www.betweentheburiedandme.com\/ https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BTBAMofficial\/ https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/btbamofficial\/ https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@btbamofficial __ #betweentheburiedandme #thebluenowhere #absentthereafter #InsideOutMusic #progressivemetal #progressiverock #metal\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px auto;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/UDhUsgxKeaM\" target=\"_blank\">Watch this video on YouTube<\/a>.<\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>The band previously released the album opener, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/rxfc49ebb.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001hph-SZg00dwCf8kfk3HaRhN4zE5DcQ5DS_C69Ojev13H16QdH9vwUlqLK5EnLj32IoRMPgHvERtqq1eMQNoX_BzoGL_sD7tDdJQBJztnlUh86lN_u_hvBRvTf0lpQp9-br40laGi_bnn5CDjnat24EdzHnkmkNxZqCaAe7YUNfZCwlt2SnaW5eOUR4XZFwcX&amp;c=DOTBIhSMNmD-aC1KWqJ7uDpo47-i1m8y3gzl16Sv51Uv4vUCHtpu5A==&amp;ch=Rt2eqAs25bnx1IdqceYQTVCorw-DzMITqHwcAKzOjpWhydEP2oN9_w==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Things We Tell Ourselves In The Dark<\/a>,&#8221; which arrived with a video featuring a 3D-modeled version of the hotel that plays a central role in the album&#8217;s concept.\u00a0Consequence\u00a0described the song as &#8220;sunny jazz-funk,&#8221;\u00a0Revolver\u00a0called it &#8220;the first funky taste of the prog vets&#8221; new collection, and\u00a0Knotfest\u00a0said it &#8220;showcases the band&#8217;s all-encompassing range and unwillingness to stick to the conventional.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Produced by longtime collaborator Jamie King and mixed by Jens Bogren,\u00a0<em>The Blue Nowhere<\/em>\u00a0is the first Between the Buried and Me album to feature an extensive string and horn section.
