Running Trains
The last man last time looking
How far has he come and where is he looking
His bag is getting heavy he feels a little tired
The kids stop just to admire
His stature, Thier parents tell them dont stare please
But all this makes the man feel at ease
He grabs his ticket like a eagle grabbing its prey
The teller guesses this man had a really long day
Trench coat thick black glasses no telling if he is blind or not
But he is headed to where we will not
We will not visit oh no not unless we made a mistake
The clank of his bag is now annoying him he drops it
Pushes it on the wall i heard a click click oh it was just his soda pop?
Did he ever go to the machine i was not watching
All i know is that i was staring at some far rock
Chooooooo i hear this train zooming in
Its headed for lifes end but why am i hear i ask myself?
To pass the time i analyze this man once again
No mask but a scarf that is just as good
And a scar on his right hand i swear i can feel what he's been in
Or through i dont know my words are even slurring
Am i pressing on him because of my own insecurites
No im not crazy i just heard the click again
Nope thats another train showing up at the station
This one was headed to frustration
A place i have visited without any hesitation now i sit here drinking my alchol studying this strange character once more
The train that just passed was second to last
No i heard a click this one couldnt be a train
That kid that wouldnt stop looking went first
Then the teller he judged him next
His gun of impurity staring me in my pupil
What did i do to you?
You judged me to he said while exhailing
Well yes he killed me then ran for that last train to hell
Why did you have to take us with you
Why not ride alone
Because misery needs company and you choose us perfectly its okay
Ill be at this station tomorrow hopefully ill catch a sorry sucker
Nevermind i missed the last train so now im running on this last one
Im tired of being creative just let me be the same as the rest
The trains that are running have been to hell and back
And never ending circle have you been to that
Where the trains aint running on tracks
They just hitting foward and back?
