Devils Train

Devil’s Train / Crooked Fingers


Stranded in an empty glass
                                               
You came to drown but drank too fast

And sunk into a coma state
                             
And dreamt of everything you hate
                                
But when you woke your head was numb
                                  
And in your chest your heart came crumbling
             
Down defeated as you reached
                               
To wrap your flesh around a stranger


Burned out from the workday light
                             
You slipped into the dead of night
              
And wanting shelter from the rain
                                 
You stepped on board the Devil s train
                                
You took a ride and you took it well
                              
And headed towards the pit of Hell

All unconcerned you crashed and burned
                            
To smash into a crowd of strangers


And hoping for an early death
                                
You swam so far you lost your breath
                        
And struggling in the ebb and flow
                            
I took your hand but you let go
                            
And now the ocean fills your lungs
                                
And now you ve got what you had come for
                           
Resting peaceful as you sink
                           
To drown under a sea of strangers
