Just Like That Velocity Girl

I'll tell you everything
As clearly as a fax machine
In spite of all the evidence
I can be less intense

But I don't know what to say
Without digging my own grave
So I'll try to change the subject
Though I know it's just too late

And I don't want to waste another day here

Inside
Just try (to reach the outside)
You'll find
(Your best intentions)
Shut down
(Just like that)

I took the faster round
Like goldfish in a plastic bag
I don't know the significance
Of living in the present tense

And when I start to stray
I don't get too far away
So I'll never know the difference
'Til it hits me in the face
