Fear of a blank planet



Mise à jour, le dimanche 3 février: Toutes les générations se posent la même question: pourquoi les jeunes sont "comme ci", pourquoi les jeunes sont "comme ça"? Aujourd'hui, les jeunes sont bombardés avec les questions reliées à l'environnement, la soif de richesse, les terroristes...

Fear of a blank planet. Pièce du groupe britannique Porcupine Tree.

Sunlight coming through the haze
No gaps in the blinds
To let it inside
The bed is unmade, some music still plays

TV, yeah it's always on
A flicker of the screen
A movie actor screams
I'm basking in the shit flowing out of it

I'm stoned in the mall again
Terminally bored
Shuffling around the stores
And shoplifting is getting so last year's thing

Xbox is a god to me
My 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 smothered on
Curiosity is good enough for me
I'm tuning out his eyes
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, or rather a lull

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
Their 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 the 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 be any boarder
Bipolar disorder
Can't be any boarder
