Our Favourite Karen

the grey never leaves but sometimes it blends into a shadow
there is no way out there is no way out there is no way out of here there is no way there is no way grey is the day i stay away from here the leaves blow in the pattern of like leaves blowing before i touch the man that eats the sandwich he gives me a look of approval like i need a look of approval grey is the day we stay away there is no way out of this place there is no way out there is no way out there is no way out of here there is no way there is no way if you take the hand of the woman she will let it go grey is the day i stand before you lying on my own crepulance and deceit this is not how it's supposed to go this is how it ends leave it alone... leave it alone... (there is no way) there is no way out of here
