Cillian Murphy

Cillian Murphy (/ˈkɪliən/; born 25 May 1976) is an Irish actor of stage and screen. Since making his debut in his home country in the late 1990s, Murphy has also become a presence in British and American cinema—noted by critics for his performances in a wide range of roles.

A native of Cork, Murphy began his performing career as a rock musician. After turning down a record deal, he made his professional acting debut in the play Disco Pigs in 1996. While continuing with stage work he also began appearing in independent films, first coming to international attention in 2002 as the hero of Danny Boyle's post-apocalyptic film 28 Days Later. Murphy's profile continued to grow in 2005 when he appeared in a series of successful films: firstly as the Scarecrow in Christopher Nolan's 2005 blockbuster Batman Begins—a role he reprised in The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012)—and secondly in the action-thriller Red Eye (2005). For his performance as a transgender woman in Breakfast on Pluto (2005), Murphy received a Golden Globe award nomination for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy.

Retreat

by: Cursive

They took the shrine to the temple,
But he wasn't there.
They checked the mosque and the chapel,
No, not there.
Since you've been away on holiday,
The natives are all nightmares.
Since you've been away on holiday,
I did dream you'd disappear.
You keep us on a leash you can't conceive,
But still must adhere to.
The natives are whipping each other,
Over which god they prefer.
I wish you'd do us all a favor,
And just differ.
Since you've been away on holiday,
We don't know which god is which.
And since you've been on holiday,
It's been harder to give a shit.
So if you stayed away on holiday,
We could get on with this.
I mean we could evolve like this,
If you'd just call it quits.
Since you've been away on holiday,
We've stomached your archaic rule.
And Since you've been away on holiday,
We've hosted some wars over you.
So stay away on holiday - my friend,
We don't need your services;
Your excuses --
Your mysterious ways
What a mysterious way to be hanged.
What a mysterious way to just go away.
Lord let us go! [x16]
