we can't erase it

so just embrace it

it's sad but it's so true

the simple fact is

our mathematics

never added up



i wish i knew all of the answers

i'd print out a cheat sheet

and publish it

but i don't -  so i won't

i'll go on pretending to know it all



mistaken placement

try to replace it

it's slipping through the cracks

i hear you talking

you see me walking

out on your heart



i wish i could arrange a recall

on all the faulty parts

of my pride

but i can't - so i can

just go on avoiding them



so sorry for july
