About disconnecting with the world to the point where you barely feel anything at all... My attempt at writing a song with the melancholia and sprawl of a Porcupine Tree tune...

iNTRo 1:

Find it hard to focus on the real...
Need to find a way to grow and heal...
Nothing but the vaguest deja vu...
When your stalking sadly from the room

(Ever get the feeling you've gone see through?)

(Ever get the feeling you've gone see through?)

(Is that the price we pay for apathy?)

VeRSe 1:

Sometimes I sit and watch the sea
Wondering if its just a giant TV
Come to swallow up our heads
While we lie and drown inside our beds

BRiDGe:

I'm desentized can't hear you shouting no it's all just washing by intead
And doesn't your face turn such a lovely shade of red?
I can't focus on any feelings too much TV sapped my thoughts all out my head
Now your leaving me and I feel nothing...

CHoRuS:

You can see through me like perspex divides
See the vacancy of me all naked inside
Yes I'd like to say that I was surprised
But if I did you'd know that that was a lie

You can see through me like I'm not all there
See the vacancy so plainly so there
Yes I'd like to say I fell into despair
But if I did you'd know that that lie was bare

iNTRo 2:

(Ever get the feeling you've gone see through?)

(Ever get the feeling you've gone see through?)

(Perspex skin and glass for blood)

VeRSe 2:

And in the morning when I wake and you're smell is gone
I can't quite remember why it should feel wrong
Distorted through a haze of V's and Mogadon
Repeat to fade until I can't be moved to sing along

Yeah maybe baby I would care that your not there
If there was something meaningful inside my head
Instead of static, white noise, and dead air
But...

CHoRuS 3:

CHoRuS 2:

You can look right through like perspex divides
To the nothingness that coats my insides
There's a black void that was once the heart of me
Move along now please there's nothing here to see

CoDa:

Ever get the feeling you've gone see through?
Is that the price of chemical apathy?
Ever get the feeling you've gone see through?
A perspex man I am you see.
