Here come the equations I don't understand Bored with the answers and every demand from the world Here come all the symptoms of a lack of faith Shivering and sweating as your soul, is trying to escape I fell for a face that I'd never seen So I painted it on everyone that I'd ever meet I'd rather try luck cause I fucking hate maths I'll jump from that bridge if the odds are, I'll get sent back I'll leave it to chance, I'm too lazy to think Give it my all and throw the kitchen sink It'll all get thrown back at me Here come all the answers that don't add up to me I took one deep breath and ran away, naturally The pain it felt real but I couldn't admit I fell on my words and my actions, they didn't fit

John O'Shea 02:28
Usually found in the middle of the park Clashing with shins and at it until after dark The engine room can be pretty mean So if there's no room I'd even play full back, just to be on your team Some might call it a booking but I'd protest I was just running my heart out all over my chest I swear by the gods that tackle was clean But if my run is over I'd even play in goal, just to be on your team Here comes the walk of shame as our battle is lost My comrades and me hung our heads and froze in the frost There's nowhere to go after the ninety When they blow the whistle I'd even bring in the cones, just to be on your team When I drank from my bottle I froze my tongue Even forgot I had ears until I heard someone Tell me that was the best display they'd seen All that mattered to me was the privilege to be The privilege to be on your team

Well if the world will be so bold We can hide under the stone In front of us is every fear Wipe our eyes until everything is clear Well if the world could figure it out The silence wouldn't be so loud They'll always try to bend the ear Run around with me 'till everything is clear Clear Clear and estranged From that past it's spinning in the most peculiar way Here Here where we lay They found another victim to overpay They bought the world and turfed us out Then hover above your head a cloud They came for all that you hold dear Come and hide with me 'till everything is clear We were caught Caught by the waves The undertow undressed us for days As the steel Shrieks it's way through your heart The gentry came and ripped it all apart

I wonder if this is worse But I got out the spell with a rough lesson learned Here comes a fist Here comes my cheek it couldn't resist The road is a soft surface The sky has no purpose but I'll wait This place feels like a circus These people are making me nervous get out of my face Panting until I faint There's a car in the lake and that's something I can't explain But I wont make that mistake Of ignoring the details that my mind had erased Some clown read out the service The people they sat there all perverts licking their lips The room couldn't mistake The accelerator from the brake But oh how they tried

Headfirst 03:07
They told me to give To give up on life They said you can be brave But in this tunnel there's no light They drained your body dry and ran away with the skin You've seen it's being sold in bargain bins I hit a wall hit a wall 'cause they sold it to me Cradled by the familiar feeling of something empty I saw the future and I'm sat taking this in Staring at that spreadsheet patience wearing thin I played this life 'cause I didn't know what else to do Spent the day with my brain It's starting to stew Thought to hard I wish I could for anything else I never learnt to dance My feet can't keep in time I've not got the clothes So I don't exercise I tried the world but I don't really think it's a fit Whichever way that it spins For the biggest profit I hit a wall hit a wall 'cause they sold it to me I ran headfirst faster than you'd believe I just got paid for doing not that much at all But banging my head Against the wall My time could be used way worse than this For that I'll never forgive

I'm waiting On some story One to keep things ticking One to stand me off my seat I saw some People on their knees With something to believe in Glad it wasn't me I missed my chance Oh well So I wont meet god Oh well I didn't catch their name Oh well So you ran away Oh well I heard Some people had their eyes out Said they didn't need them Instead they'd just believe them The streets they Keep on sending signals Ones to keep me sleeping Ones to keep me awake I know That I'm just dreaming but I wont wake up too soon My teeth Were shattering inside me then I woke to an empty room

This house is all wonky This house isn't right The people who fill it Blabber through the night I stumble through subjects and sometimes agree To things when I'm zoned out that I don't believe Well I just need to breathe Take it all in Make something up I just need to be Someone I've seen Someone not me The ground wont stop shaking The people wont move The first one to flinch Sends shock waves through the room Then all the ice breaks I cannot tell If that stories real, well then they're straight to hell You, you cannot tell But it's not too late it's not you it's this place I followed a dream Then fell into this Endless abyss Don't take my word Just roll with the punch Follow your gut Or just call it a hunch

Point Break 03:35
I want it Need it But I'm shit outta luck They heard it They saw it So they ripped out my gut Don't speak it Don't think it They'll steal the sun I pissed on The flames of This floating gun The cold weather sleeps while you battle with aches That forever drag The clouds would weep from the shackles that claw At your heart to pull down No surprises I'd been smiling For when this came around See I sold out My soul now They're owed me in the ground The fleeting moments you treasure have all But disappeared Give in to the great unknown to forget About all your fears I swallowed my dreams 'Cause I couldn't believe this was happening to me Under the trees I fed to new life then I was free When I found it Dumbfounded That I'd seen it before Then I felt it As I lost it It's then I'm floored Fully loaded Bloated They'll steal the sun I pissed on The flames of This floating gun

Wear Me Out 03:09
Swimming through the streets The rain is pelting my feet Thought I was singing in key I guess the world was missing a beat I didn't notice I was falling Falling pretty fast Running in circles Coming out last I wouldn't wear me out Now look whose showing up It's someone I don't wanna see They said I looked real rough Someone here can never be clean They told me it's over Get under your bed sheet Never look back Stay there hungover You were getting off track I wouldn't wear me out I'd settle for the Antichrist if that gets me up on time Careful not to inflate this ego of mine Lying in bed destitute humming someone else's tune But I wont let it get me down No I wont let it wear me out When the day's almost done The most of it I'd spent asleep I could have sweetened the world But I went sour as I struggled to breathe I was forgetting All of the reasons For getting out of bed Lamenting each season But missing each step It all wears me out

My wife Mary made a lovely shepherd's pie and peas With carrots and gravy, oh and cabbage as an additional green I said that looks fantastic love and I tucked in hungrily My daughter Karen didn't, something I wish I'd seen For soon my plate was empty, I said "Mary, is there any more?" She said "No, love, but its treacle sponge for afters" and I said "phwoar" I'd had a couple of mouthfuls, when I heard Karen declare "I can't eat any more of this shepherds pie mum" Well it filled me with despair (because if I'd known that I wouldn't have started my sweet) But I can't go back to savoury now That shepherd's pie was stunning But I'm, halfway through my pudding I can't go back to savoury now My taste buds would go crazy And I can't go back to savoury now My tummy was in turmoil, I was panicked and confused And as Karen's dinner grew colder, so did my sweet For my pleasure in that treacle sponge was now massively reduced By the sight of fluffy potato, and glistening meat Take this plate from me oh Lord, before I go insane Should I press on with my afters, or go back to my main? Oh I can't go back to savoury now That shepherd's pie was stunning But I'm, halfway through my pudding I can't go back to savoury now, Oh No My taste buds would go crazy And I can't go back to savoury now I can't go back, I won't go back I'd love to go back but I mustn't do that I can't go back, I won't go back I'd love to go back obviously, but I mustn't do that At that moment I heard a sound, a scrape of knife on plate As I watched Karen's dinner go in the dog's dish My appetite now gone, my pudding suffered the same fate I can only assume this appalling outcome Was God's wish I can't go back to savoury now That shepherd's pie was stunning But I'm halfway through my pudding I can't go back to savoury now My taste buds would go crazy And I can't go back to savoury now
