Sunlight coming through the haze
No gaps in the blind To let it inside The bed is unmade Some music still plays TV, yeah it's always on The flicker of the screen A movie actress screams I'm basking in the shit flowing out of it I'm stoned in the mall again Terminally bored Shuffling round the stores And shoplifting is getting so last year's thing X-box is a god to me A finger on the switch My mother is a bitch My father gave up ever trying to talk to me Don't try engaging me The vaguest of shrugs The prescription drugs You'll never find A person inside My face is mogadon Curiosity Has given up on me I'm tuning out desires The pills are on the rise How can be sure I'm here? The pills that I've been taking confuse me I need to know that someone sees that There's nothing left I simply am not here I'm through with pornography The acting is lame The action is tame Explicitly dull Arousal annulled Your mouth should be boarded up Talking all day With nothing to say Your shallow proclamations All misinformation My friend says he wants to die He's in a band They sound like Pearl Jam The clothes are all black The music is crap In school I don't concentrate And sex is kinda fun But just another one Of all the empty ways Of using up a day How can be sure I'm here? The pills that I've been taking confuse me I need to know that someone sees that There's nothing left I simply am not here Bipolar disorder Can't deal with the boredom You don't try to be liked You don't mind You feel no sun You steal a gun To kill time You're somewhere, you're nowhere You don't care You catch the breeze You still the leaves So now where? 02. My Ashes Music by Steven Wilson, Richard Barbieri Lyrics by Steven Wilson
All the things that I needed
And wasted my chances I have found myself wanting When a mother and father Gave me their problems I accepted them all Nothing ever expected I was rejected But I came back for more And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky Where a boy rides on a bike but never smiles And my ashes fall on all the things we said On a box of a photographs under the bed I will stay in my own world Under the covers I will feel safe inside A kiss that will burn me And cure me of dreaming I was always returning And my ashes find a way beyond the fog And return to save the child that I forgot And my ashes fade among the things unseen And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales Never ending clouds of rain and distant sails 03. Anesthetize Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
A good impression of myself
Not much to conceal I'm saying nothing But I'm saying nothing with feel I simply am not here No way I.. Shut up, be happy Stop whining please And because of who we are We react in mock surprise The curse of "there must be more" So don't breathe here Don't leave your bags I simply am not here No way I.. Shut up, be happy Stop whining please The dust in my soul makes me feel the weight in my legs My head in the clouds and I'm zoning out I'm watching TV but I find it hard to stay conscious I'm totally bored but I can't switch off Only apathy for the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Only MTV and cod philosophy We're lost in the mall shuffling through the stores like zombies What is the point, what can money buy My hands on a gun and I find the range, God tempts me What did you say; think I'm passing out Only apathy from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Only MTV and cod philosophy Only apathy from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Only MTV and cod philosophy Water so warm that day I counted out the waves As they broke into surf I smiled into the sun Water so warm that day I was counting out the waves And I followed the short life As they broke on the shore line I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen... There's black across the sun Water so warm that day I counted out the waves As they broke into surf I smiled into the sun 04. Sentimental Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
I never wanna be old
And I don't want dependents It's no fun to be told That you can't blame your parents anymore I'm finding it hard to hang from a star Don't wanna be I don't wanna be old Sullen and bored the kids stay And in this way they wish away each day Stoned in the mall the kids play And in this way they wish away each day I don't really know If I care what is normal And I'm not really sure If the pills I've been taking are helping I'm wasting my life Hurting inside I don't really know And I'm not really sure..... Sullen and bored the kids stay And in this way they wish away each day Stoned in the mall the kids play And in this way they wish away each day 05. Way Out Of Here Music by Porcupine Tree Lyrics by Steven Wilson
Out at the train tracks I dream of escape
But a song comes onto my ipod And I realise it's getting late I can't take the staring and the sympathy And I don't like the questions: "How do you feel?" "How's it going in school?" "Do you wanna talk about it?" Way out Way out of here Fade out Fade out, vanish I'll try to forget you And I know that I will In a thousand years Or maybe a week I'll burn all your pictures Cut out your face And the shutters a down and the curtains are closed And I've covered my tracks Disposed of the car And I'll try to forget even your name And the way that you look when you're sleeping And dreaming of this... Way out Way out of here Fade out Fade out, vanish 06. Sleep Together Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
This means out
This is your way out Do or drown Do or drown in torpor Leave no trace All my files erased Burn my clothes Burn my Prada trainers Let's sleep together right now Relieve the pressure somehow Switch off the future right now Let's leave forever This is fate This is your escape Leave here now Leave here like it's over Let's sleep together right now Relieve the pressure somehow Switch off the future right now Let's leave forever |
