Fear Of A Blank Planet

Porcupine Tree

7

Sunlight coming through the haze

No gaps in the blinds to let it inside

The bed is unmade, some music still playsTV, yeah, it′s always on

A 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

The Xbox 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 I 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 I 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)

(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?
