lyrics

Turn and place the cries the camera always lies
While crashing to your feet the friend you long to meet
Passport left behind for someone else to find
Then everyone you've known gone for good left out on your own

Please open your eyes nothing's wrong it's all in the mind
There's still no reason to hide reconciled to go with the tide

A vain attempt to find the broken man inside
A knock upon the door has you flying to the floor
Shadows moving past reflections in the glass
A sound from near the stairs no need to look no one's there

Please open your eyes nothing's wrong it's all in the mind
There's still no reason to hide reconciled to go with the tide

The trouble with me is it's half after three
And I'm so wide awake I pray just to sleep again
Thoughts in my head keep me from the comfort of bed
And the noises through the walls and the floors are a constant restraint

Please open your eyes nothing's wrong it's all in the mind
There's still no reason to hide reconciled to go with the tide

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...

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
