Just another night out on the railroad
running behind trains
Believing, sincerely that you'd never have to follow them back again
There's a tangy, copper tongued taste of surprise
every time your eyes shoot down to your feet
and you keep telling yourself that somehow you haven't yet tripped once
on any of the stiff, rooted, wooden ties, leading their way from the tips of your toes
to the faint and perplexing reaches of god knows where...
But it's somewhere
and the reflection of that dream
keeps your legs running
and the sweat pouring
and you know that she's out there
Just minutes away from the very untouched, sanguine pathway
th
Outside the bar at 11 pm is where all the real shit happens
The alcohol takes hold of blood
and we all deserve it.
and we all share stories about how we deserve it
So we must...
Plagued by some form of slavery
Whether it be money, work, women
Whatever has you chained down worse
I can hardly think during the day
My friends at the bar looked at me and would ask:
"Why are you so quite?"
"Downer!"
"Say something"
They want entertainment or fun
Even though I still have nothing to talk about
They have not yet realized
that I am not down
Just speechless
In a form of being calm for once
Because the beer has become ritual
Comfortin
So what of saints and martyrs
Who lead inside of the caves?
And who die that way forever
Until another one leads the way...
So what of fools and soldiers
Who stand firmly inside the lines
and forget that they are slowly
Running themselves out of time?
They fight for a broken kingdom
They fight to find their souls
But a soul is seldom given
To a man who fights alone
So what of all the sailors
That tore, sailing across the sea
In search of some greener land
With aspirations to be free?
So what of dreams left buried
Inside of a dead mans head?
Would you send them unto heaven
Or let them fade into his bed?
Where the memories o
Its dark out there, No room for light
Although Ive finally found my chance to hide
Inside the night that you will never see
But it will always be a part of me
I shield my eyes, Behind the shades
Lock the door and fade away
From a slowly bleeding century
Why wont you die and let me be
There was a time that I really cared
For walking backwards up your spiral stairs
Sure I was attracted to your offerings
But like a raven deprived of his wings
and fell into the city streets
Spectators, abandoned meat
and all the while I thought you were my friend
Did you ever experience such a loss of freedom
Before you crumbled and faded away?
There is time in the future to redeem yourself
But what's the sense in becoming so grey?
You sat down at the table
Where they handed out all of your might
They settled in discussion
and they choked down on every last bite
It is this race of inspiration
That had never felt quite right to you and I
Choose now and leave a staple
On the television sideshow tonight
When you spoke it came out so white
and when you wrote you became so black
There is nothing more deligating then charred up insides
At least you had some insight before the others had decid
We need a planned vacation
Some form of sanctity
You don't even show up
You don't even know my name
I think I have to love you
I think you need to write things down
So you can know your purpose
I'll be camping out in other towns
There has got to be some other way from this
This city's meant to run me down
I need some inspiration first
But you have been bowing out to novocaine
You crawl up in the window
You tell me that you are meant to fall
Through all the motions of the highways
And the buildings that were built too tall
I can't help but entertain you
With words I'd always truly known
Just another incantation
From the mou
Have you ever seen my sunflower girl?
I once ran loose on top of her fingertips
they were extended with a full length of paralysis
'everything is alive when it is sound'
The words that were reflected from...
Daylight
There were pedals in the rhythm of our hair
And the intentions were only to mess about in terms
We traded our places
We fell from the books
But those limits were never worth the discussion
I do not really trust some people that are seen
(Or choose therefore to be)
Like following an ocean into a sandstorm
There were failures
Desertions
There were people who would not relieve their dirt trails of me
With that hal
I am still going to lose what is left of my mind,
As I squirm and shiver through this makeshift tunnel that has completely enveloped the entire world.
There is panic and screaming inside of it.
There are no outsides.
There are no insides for me or anyone...
You show signs of discomfort and confusion.
Stalking around bedposts and trying so hard to fall asleep
and there is no making it there.
It is because of the vague little voices sweeping the ground of its colours
Wiping away anything that could possibly resemble the hope of getting that way.
Like an ancient relic it is hidden away with all of your insight
Mass weaponry.
This old house is crying out and you my dear, you sure know how it feels
It's strong, it's pure, and it's fleeting
It wants to make an impression upon you
So think this through
What they want they'll take it from you
Nightling...
With your cold, smooth eyes
Where have you been on these cold winter nights?
Has midnight averted your rythmic, sensual cool?
To glow that bright with a kiss from the moon...
