lyrics

(cold)

Third year, structural analysis, top of the cohort
I could tell you the load a thing takes before it goes
Everything has a number where it stops being fine
(being fine)
People too. That's the part they don't put in the module.

I know my brother's number (his number)
I watched him get to it. I did nothing. I was revising.

Engineering
(engineering)
I can calculate exactly when a thing collapses
Engineering
And it did not help one single time

They gave me a bursary and a mug and a photograph
The photograph is on my mum's wall next to his
Same wall, same frames, same smile, different outcomes
(different outcomes)
Nobody visits and looks at only one of them

I finished the degree. Last year. Part-time. Nobody knows.
Not to prove anything. It was just unfinished.
I hate unfinished things. That's the whole personality.
(808 RETURNS)
