Between The Buried And Me - Melting City Lyrics
[The Black Mask:]Creep in before the rise of the sunExecute a story never toldDo not thinkJust doNo human emotionWho says I'm even human at this point?A poor example of lifeNo moralsJust a huge display of directionHear, then doProfitSneak in the box before the rise of the sunA four-handed bed occupied by only twoThe window is yawningFaceless in a sea of spaceMy propulsion from their painIn, outProfitWhy would they need me for a simple confession?Collect, then destroyCollect, then destroyBefore the rise of the sunFaceless in a sea of spaceMy propulsion from their painYears Later:Frantic writingNot meant for my eyesWhy did I keep this?What inside forced me to see the ink?Smoothed out, then in piecesI can't live with thisI must let her knowA valley of smiling despairSelf doubt would be my first guessConfusion, sadness, the other halfBut lost through selfish measuresI can't live with thisI must let her know(One heart in a two heart bed. She woke to nothing. Because of me, she woke to nothing.)The robot has stepped out of his boxForeigner in my own landNo profitFor once no profitWalk inAfter the rise of the sunConclude a story never readA burning smell creeps up my nostrils(The box is gone)A trapdoor locked from the insideIncomplete meImpossible conclusionMeFaceless in a sea of spaceMy propulsion from their painFrantic writing not meant for my eyes
