great clouds pass
time cascades along
trying to ride the crest of the wave
but noone follows
treading water in the calm
and I look back to get dashed across the rocks
I don't know why i'm here
maybe I'm trying to represent
why I get swept up in these huge clouds of resentment
#
I know it's not cool to be scared of death
but maybe I'm just scared we're already there
we're all small fry
and we're all going to die
keep treading
#
why are these tears falling down my cheek
at the back of the gig
this song is my favourite
this band are supreme
when I was seventeen I said to myself
it will never be better than this
never leave this place
never tell yourself this isn't it
yet here I am
outside looking in
twenty seven at seventeen
making excuses
forgetting
when I was seventeen I said to myself
it will never be better than this
never leave this place
we're forgetting...
how we found solace in someone elses armpit
we found hope in the sweat of it
chewing yr hair
bruising yr thighs
not in there to fight
but in there to to realise

yr such a Paradis
I could eat you up
if you stood still long enough
and if you get what you want
you'll see a smile on my face
#
I know yr hungry
but you know how unhealthy we are
you can't sleep since you ate me in yr dreams
we don't sleep at the same time
don't sleep at the same time
do you sleep at all
#
is that what you wanted
I could sleep you off
if you gave me a chance to struggle
and if you get what you want
you'll see a smile on my face
#
I get enough from making you laugh
I get enough from making you laugh
affection
I get enough from making you laugh

curiosity killed the university
now I'm head down in not giving a fuck
strugling to cauterize my leg wearing corderoys
explosions happening too close for comfort
off the back of a run up
I'm happy to swing at him
I fancy my chances
we've both studied
but he plays hockey
think that gives him an advantage
#
a few hundred Phillip Greens and Karen Bradys
would act as a barrier of sorts
but right now
what I'm after
is at the top of the clock tower
#
the heads are flicking round my head
disembodied
I'm past the point of absconding
#
onerosity
whistling tactically
tryin to draw attention from above
gamboling forwards towards the door in front of us
break the lock and run up the stairs
at the top the door creaks
he turns around
I fancy my chances
he's still guarding
what we came for
