Couch to 5K 02:23
I go numb And so I think I'll watch 'Inside' again To see if anything has changed My phone informs me That I went to 18 bars And run a 'Couch to 5K' And when I finally fucking do it I'll leave a note a novel long And then I'll never have to deal with this Never have to deal with this again And when I speak to you I still sweat out my palms And so I'll never have to deal with you Never have to deal with you again I should make use of that Couch to 5K And run myself into the sea Disguise my body In an aqua marine ghillie So lifeguards won't notice me And when I finally fucking do it I'll leave a note a novel long And then I'll never have to deal with this Never have to deal with this again Don't want to deal with this So I'll never fucking deal with this again And I'm so happy I can't explain... I should make use of that Couch to 5K And run myself into the sea Couch to 5K

A decadent walks Abandon your third person As I meet your crashing plane With a time piece and a weather vane The conversation Gives way to minor fantasy One where we kickback Spending all day Taking horse with Malcolm Lowry Spending all day With you Tomorrow sinks down Your plane is fucking off And I'm composing lies Two short stories and an alibi I'd rather just shoot The messenger sometime So I can live my dream of Spending all day Taking horse with Malcolm Lowry Spending all day With you I've got dreams, don't you? I've got dreams I know you've got them too And I think I'd like to... Get to know you Spending all day Taking horse with Malcolm Lowry Spending all day With you

This is the first day of this world And the traps of cola bottles Keep the flies from buzzing earls Patiently awaiting her return And there's an open sense of dread That the woman withe scissors in her hair Will not get out of bed Jaw hangs by a thread It's gonna take more than hellhounds It's gonna take more than heart shaped eyes It's gonna take a million coffee grounds But I promise you I'll try my best tonight I had to crystallise the moment You mentioned that you thought of me While poisoning an ocean Something in the ooze Covered over with debris Yeah I could bring you coffee While you're talking in your sleep Hungover beyond belief Smother me or run me through But by the scissors in your hair I swear I tell the truth I know that I'm not enough But it's your fault that I'm in love It's gonna take a lot more than hellhounds It's gonna take more than heart shaped eyes It's gonna take a million coffee grounds For the woman with scissors in her hair to rise She's fine though Does this all the time no?

Clothes and shoes and planet aid Kill a kid an hour til the teach gets paid I don't want to sit around talking all day I've got people to run over This is a battle we're fighting You intellectual titans I'm so sorry What's your view on this? I'm sure you privilege makes you Ideally equipped to deal with this shit Please tell me your opinion I swear I'm interested Please tell me your opinion It's fascinating! Please tell me your opinion Oh oh that last time um very um Please tell me your opinion I sweat to God I'm interested I'm a Baker Street Irregular Footer to the Header Standing on the shoulders of someone who does it better I'm a Baker Street Irregular Footer to the Header Standing in the shadow of someone who does it better Kill the freaks!
