How did it get this far? When did it slip away? Early summer spent suspended In a dreamlike forever In defiance of a coming Shift in the weather The retreat of lengthened days A dawning dread of approaching winter Relinquishing the reins Any semblance of control Or imagined destiny Extinguishing the stars In surrender to the cold Impending reality Clinging to what’s lost In futility In gradual, resigned acceptance A vision revealed Slowly succumbing In protest To the turning of the wheel
2.
At any cost may they never see What lives under the projection Writhing in silence, convulsing It withers and dies when exposed to light Chiseled from stone Never let them, never let them Faultlines grow Never let them see Deny it all away Marching on, always marching on And don’t forget yourself And don’t forget your smile A young man grows so quickly old Colors drained away From eyes no longer blinking Just one more day One more night Never ending It’s like gravity Increases every moment It’s like With every step the earth gives way beneath my feet It’s like tragedy Swallowed and unspoken In time Taking root and waiting Incubating in the darkest corners Take the reigns Embrace the struggle What doesn’t kill you Well, you know the rest Take the reigns Submerge the pain Pressure makes diamonds Or hadn’t you heard? Alive inside the machine Keep up or be replaced Alive inside the machine Die there

Caught between unyielding forces Unfelt erosion crawling ever forward Undermining the most trusted Taken for granted as ageless and eternal Eyes upon the cloudless sky Awaiting answers Long since revealed Blue gives way to vastness A perforated black An absence unmeasured To walk upon disintegration A temporary confidence Above the stampede of the oblivious Below, it gnaws without relent Without relent Concrete veined with faultlines Foundations settle in decaying earth Silently consuming The optimism of our remaining moments Come the day of upheaval As the underlying gives way
4.
Elusive and intangible Expectations slip from my grasp As hope and doubt and pain and patience Twirl and dance their mocking dance Searching searching frantically for distraction, Anything to keep at bay The underlying, unrelenting, helplessness of an uncertain “someday” Staring up at different ceilings In a circumstance undreamt of Craving for voice Grateful for words But sometimes words are not enough Not enough Like a walking ghost making its way In and out of daylight Forcing smiles through countless days Dreading nights unending Eternity unfolds by seconds As time itself slows down From clock to calendar And back again It would be all too easy to drown But after it all If she waits like I wait Enduring, enduring Until the end And somewhere beyond despair If she waits like I wait Forever means nothing If she waits If she waits
5.
Find the refuge here That you seek An escape from the world And the burden of conformity Come forth, the cast out To a darkened place Where we the lost unite And everything else fades away In search of some identity A calling away, away from this Diverging from the common path Only to be set upon The glint of eyes Just outside the light We are circling And we eat our own We eat our own To prey upon Weakness in any form Our howling voices converge We eat our own We the losers who can’t fit in Crushing losers who can’t fit in A professed call for unity A thin veneer of cohesion When there are no more enemies We create them of ourselves

about

Buried Under Sky

Buried Under Sky is a melodic metal project that formed in the middle of the 2020 pandemic.
With an avowed love for dueling melodies and hard rock rhythms, Buried Under Sky wears its nineties influences on its sleeve with zero ambition to be the fastest, hardest, heaviest, or anything but four middle-aged guys with day jobs making the metal they want to hear. ... more
