about

This is one of my favorite Porcupine Tree songs, and it doesn't seem to receive the appreciation it should. So here is my homage, I hope I did it justice :)

lyrics

This song leaks out, onto the pavement
It could be a joke, could be a statement
The more that I fake it, and pretend I don't care
The more you could read, into what isn't there

Maybe it's time to stop swimming
Maybe it's time to find out where I'm at
What I should do, where I should be
But no one will give me, a map

(Saxophone solo)

I'll leave now, this can't continue
But I forget which door I came through
And I know that the lift can be painfully slow
So I think I'll leave by the window

(Guitar solo)
