You ran before you could walk
Opinions before you could talk
The dreaming was out of hand
The link that broke the chain
Corrupted again and again
The reasons always so very clear
Connect the pieces they stole
To make the picture a whole
Reclaiming to recognize
White noise tear it up
Extremes to kill the hurt
Shatter the circle
The reasons so very clear
To take the light from the shade
Distil the love from the hate
Anger neutralized
To find your way back home
To put an end to the drone
The voices understood
No longer reasons to hide
To fill the dark space inside
Each moment day on day
A new way rolling in
Detached from all that’s been holding you under
But will you let it go
Searching the skyline
Seeing above a haze of vagueness
Contagious, a flavour best left untasted
There is a poison talking in tongues
Seeping through your bloodstream
Why do you pay attention?
You! Want! More!
Unconditional
Stumble, straighten – will you fall
Below the line of your own expectations
To where you recognize
Hiding in the shadows of your doubts
Denying the chances
You hold in your hands - understanding
You! Want! More!
Unconditional
Unconditional
Unconditional
Meeting the facts of your life
Face to face and knowing who you are
Strangeness, shocks your core
When you take hold - remould
The shape of your own expectations
To where – you recognize.
You! Want! More!
Unconditional
You ran before you could walk
Opinions before you could talk
You ran. You ran.
You ran. You ran.

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
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
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
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...
