Futile Lyrics
You were the one that made her cry You were the one that told her lies
You were the one whose brain moved in circles
Neither an adult nor a child
Now it only moves you forward
And back to the blackness at the same time
Burnt out tracks, the world went black Futile
Lost my head, the world went red
Futile
It's not true, the world went blue
Futile
You were the one collecting space
You were the one just saving face
You were the one whose brain moved in circles
Neither an adult nor a child
Now it only moves you forward
And back to the blackness at the same time
Burnt out tracks, the world went black Futile
Lost my head, the world went red
Futile
It's not true, the world went blue
Futile
You were the one whose brain moved in circles
Neither an adult nor a child
And back to the blackness at the same time
Lost my head, the world went red
Futile
It's not true, the world went blue
Futile
You were the one just saving face
You were the one whose brain moved in circles
Neither an adult nor a child
And back to the blackness at the same time
Lost my head, the world went red
Futile
It's not true, the world went blue
Futile

I think this song is great. Anybody knows from which album it is taken?
@Wakeboard_Snufkin the "futile" EP. (2003)

yeah it is taken from the promotional cd 'Futile'. it has interview with Steven Wilson and live song and so on.
Is it supposed to be a b-side taken from In Absentia? Because I personally think that the lyrics can also reflect and be connected to the theme of the album. I could be wrong of course.

this song is from Futile Ep, that comes with Strip The Soul (like a radio edition), Futile, Orchidia, Drown With Me, Interview With Steven Wilson, Hatesong live, Blackest Eyes live at XM Radio, Death Whispered A Lullaby by Opeth and a Steven Wilson Generic Radio ID, i got the record, very very hard to find.
Holy shit this song is fucking powerful. The riff is fantastic and it has a nice balance of rough and ease.
The futile EP is probably one of my favorite PT EP's anyways.
