Paul Sullivan - Torn Between Lyrics

I want to save the world, I want to watch it burn
I want to unknow everything I learn
I want to stop watching lambs led to the slaughter
I want to swap this folk song for Smoke on the Water

I spent winter longing for the summer to appear
But when it came I stayed inside and opened more beer
My fingers were longing for tunes played together
But when we reconvened I wanted silence forever

I'm torn between care too much and don't care at all
I'm torn between fixing and knocking down the wall
I want to stop drinking but I keep a wine cellar
I can think of no vices, so what can I tell her?

I once had a sweetheart, but now she's a nun,
I once was monastic, but now I'm more fun,
I've played marbles with rosaries, spilled holy wine,
Said sorry in corners where prayer candles shine

I'm torn between care too much and don't care at all
I'm torn between fixing and knocking down the wall
I want to stop drinking but I keep a wine cellar
I can think of no vices, so what can I tell her?

I'd take to the nest but the birds have all flown
That glint in your eye is just your mobile phone
What pleasures are these? I don't know them at all
Those things I enjoyed are dreams beyond call

I'm torn between care too much and don't care at all
I'm torn between fixing and knocking down the wall
I want to stop drinking but I keep a wine cellar
I can think of no vices, so what can I tell her?

But over the horizon, beyond rainbow's end
Past mansions of memory, past foe and past friend
Creaking with hope but dry as a bone
At the edge of the earth, where truth stands alone

There's a well at the world's end, it's dry as a tyrant's eye
