[Intro] [Distorted bass melody, tape saturation, room ambience, distant shimmer guitar] [Verse 1] [Palm-muted guitar, half-time groove, low male vocal] I'm just sitting here Doing a whole lot of nothing Wondering what you're doing too I can still see you Nobody else in the feed Like everybody vanished Without a clue Where'd all the usual suspects go? Drafted to a different reality? Took the bait and crossed the brass moon gate Ain't seen a soul come back to me [Pre-Chorus] [Toms enter, bass rises, tension building] Maybe the world burned down And nobody rang the bell Maybe we're the last two left And nobody can tell [Chorus] [Open-chord guitars, gang vocal responses, wide room sound] How long we gonna play along Dancing with a different reality Everybody's gone But you're still looking at me Maybe I'm not here anyway Maybe I'm a shadow in the trees Maybe the world spun off its tracks And nobody told me Maybe I'm not here anyway Maybe that's the way it's gotta be [Gang Vocal] Maybe I'm not here anyway Maybe I'm not here anyway [Verse 2] [Palm-muted guitars return, bass carries melody] There's a portapotty in my parking space Blue plastic monument to bad timing Thought it'd ruin my day But I just dragged my chair beneath the sap And watched the whole thing keep unwinding The Book of Symbols staring back Maybe eyes were always the clue Man's world is his eye Page three-fifty-two And now I can't stop looking through [Pre-Chorus] [Drums widen, shimmer guitar enters] Every answer opens Into another hallway Every hallway opens Into another locked door [Chorus] [Full band, gang vocals stronger] How long we gonna play along Dancing with a different reality Everybody's gone But you're still looking at me Maybe I'm not here anyway Maybe I'm a shadow in the trees Maybe the world spun off its tracks And nobody told me Maybe I'm not here anyway Maybe that's the way it's gotta be [Gang Vocal] Maybe I'm not here anyway Maybe I'm not here anyway [Breakdown] [Everything drops except distorted bass, floor tom pulse, room ambience] 11:11 Didn't go looking for a sign It found me Not a clock watcher Never was But something keeps peeking through the cracks Like headlights through a boarded window Like eyes behind the drywall Like a name I almost remember [Build] [Toms build, feedback swells, gang vocal whispers] Maybe I'm not here Maybe I'm not here [Final Chorus] [Biggest section, open guitars, gang vocals, shimmering overtones] How long we gonna play along Dancing with a different reality Everybody's gone But you're still looking at me Maybe I'm not here anyway Maybe I'm a shadow in the trees Maybe the world spun off its tracks And nobody told me Maybe I'm not here anyway Maybe that's the way it's gotta be [Extended Gang Vocal] Maybe I'm not here anyway Maybe I'm not here anyway Maybe I'm not here anyway [Outro] [Band drops away, distorted bass and room ambience only] I'm just sitting here Doing a whole lot of nothing Being watched Maybe I'm not here anyway
