The DeeKays - I Can Do The Math
One—two—three—four WAIT—reset One—two—THREE—five ERROR. Count it out, count it back, count it wrong again, Numbers in my skull like a fractal sin. Tick tick tick… metronome cracked, Every beat I hit comes staggered and stacked. Divide the bar into pieces that don’t fit, Multiply the pain till the grid splits. Add another layer, subtract all sense, Equation of chaos, infinite tense. Break it! Shift it! Time signature, twist it! If it loops clean… YOU MISSED IT! I CAN DO THE MATH DON’T QUESTION ME! Polyrhythmic blood in asymmetry! I CAN DO THE MATH COUNT TILL IT BREAKS! Seven over five over six mistakes! If it lands clean, it ain’t my path… I LIVE INSIDE THE WRONG SIDE OF MATH! Prime numbers carved in my spine, I bleed in fractions, I think in signs. Bracket the chaos, solve for X, X don’t exist, it just reflects. Graph the pain on a broken plane, Every axis screaming my name. Parallel lines that never meet, Just like the grid under my feet. Count wrong! Count fast! Trip the beat and make it last! If you feel it… YOU’RE OFF TRACK! I CAN DO THE MATH DON’T FOLLOW ME! This equation breeds deformity! I CAN DO THE MATH SPLIT THE FRAME! Add the chaos, subtract the sane! Multiply riffs till your mind just snaps… WELCOME TO THE VOID OF MATH! “Alright… count this.” One—two—three One—two One—two—three—four—five No… NO… YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG! 0 1 0-1 1-0-1-0 COUNT COUNT COUNT FAIL! Limits approach but never arrive, I solve for nothing and still survive. Derivative cuts, integral scars, I map the distance between the bars. Infinity laughs in recursive tone, Every answer leads to unknown. I CAN DO THE MATH WATCH ME DESCEND! Every number loops without an end! I CAN DO THE MATH BREAK THE SUM! Divide the beat till it comes undone! No resolution, no aftermath… JUST ME AND THE VIOLENCE OF MATH! Count… Count… …count… …lost.
