Train

Here we are

Me and myself again

With eyes as a looking glass

My window to the world

And I am just a soul

Living in my mind

Persistence in existence

A shallow water dive

A slow train ride

Looking out the window

As the world passes by

I see women baring skin

And affections switching places

People losing races

Starting where they begin

And if love is meant to be

Then why is what I see?

Reality

Fingers touching flesh

Heat in the caress

In my arms I can feel

All the years wasted

All the time gone by

Just one chance to live this life

And the heart just makes you cry

The room keeps right on spinning

And my glass is always full

The colors are all together now

Nothing is what I feel

I can burn all that away

All those wants I need

Time will keep ticking

Spinning, spinning, spinning

In a shallow water dive

My eyes grow red

The thoughts are dead

Walls can catch my fall

Stumbling in the dark

But who will lift me up tomorrow?

Another glass full

So give it up

And give it all away

All those pretty strangers

Looking your way

Actions speak louder

And words are just lies

What every woman wants

They say

But the truth is easier to see

Goodbye night

Goodbye Train

My looking lens is cracked now

The world just ain’t the same

If someone I can find

Something real to me

Then all these words mean nothing now

And I’ll get back on my feet.
