Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize

[Dr. Strange]

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 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, cod philosophy

We're lost in the mall, shuffling through the stores like zombies
Well, what is the point? What can money buy?
My hand's on a gun and I find the range, God tempts me
Well, 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, 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, cod philosophy

Water so warm that day (water so)
Water so warm that day (warm that day)
I counted out the waves (I counted)
I counted out the waves (out the waves)
As they broke into surf (as they broke)
As they broke (into surf)
I smiled into the Sun (into surf)
The water, so warm that day
I was counting out the waves
And I followed their short life
As they broke on the shoreline
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
And there's black across the Sun
Water so warm that day (water so)
Water so warm that day (warm that day)
I counted out the waves (I counted)
I counted out the waves (out the waves)
As they broke into surf (as they broke)
As they broke (into surf)
I smiled into the Sun (into surf)

1. Great Alex Lifeson solo as well

One of Porcupine Tree's best!

[Dr. Strange]

3. Wait!

How the fuck did I not know Lifeson was involved with this?!!?

I came across the name Porcupine Tree a couple of years ago when I looked at Rush on the Music Map. A lot of the close bands were expected (Yes, Genesis, Dream Theater), but PT was completely new to me. So I made a mental note to check them out. And just in the last couple of weeks, I've finally been following through.

Thanks to your comment, I not only found out about Lifeson's contribution, but I just found out that Rush would play this song during some of their concert intermissions.

4. Easily my favorite band of the 21st century

Steven Wilson's solo work is great too.

5. I can see why!

I'm going on a bit of a Steven Wilson kick right now.
