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’ll 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’ll 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 rage, God tempts me
What did you say; think I’m passing out

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

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

Was so warm on that day
I counted out the waves
As they broke into the sand

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

Was so warm on that day
I counted out the waves
As they broke into the sand
Fear Of A Blank Planet

Song Facts - Show All?
The song can be split into three sections, and in the album booklet, asterisk markings separate the lyrics to each of the sections. These sections are not named in the booklet, although during their BBC Radio 1 Rock Show performance, Gavin Harrison revealed that part two is called "The Pills I'm Taking"; the song "What Happens Now?" from Nil Recurring EP uses a sample of the opener riff for this second movement.

At 17+ minutes, this will be one of Porcupine Tree's longest songs. Go to their MySpace page and you can listen to a 6-minute preview of the new album, which includes snippets from every song on the album, including this one. It's probably their best work yet.

Well, it's confirmed. This is the best song ever written by Porcupine Tree. It's just epic. Let's leave it at that.

this is pretty much one of the greatest songs ever written, in my opinion.
