The Runner

running on suicide

to stop the leaks from sprouting high

from the great wall I live inside

frantically plugging cracks and holes

every one that I can find

 

the sun still shines on those who close their eyes

the night still falls for those who survive by the light

 

the faster I can operate

the less I notice and hesitate

the less I realize its too late

I went blind to love at twenty two

I just didn’t have the time to wait

 

the tide is coming in, be a boxer knock it down

be a fox and seduce the waters with your sexy frown

be a drunk, drink up your old town

before the waters do

drop your body on the ground

 

will I sabotage myself again

or let the tides run where they want

I'm too much like the Netherlands

fixing myself up for the great flood

the longer I put it off the

sooner it will come
