I'm on a slow moving train Rickety, unsafe; chugging desperately. Swaying under constant beating rain, And I sit trapped and sick in pain.
Empty compartments, curtains torn and charred, Boarded windows, seats worn and scarred And there's a lock on the door Where laughter and chatter flitter from the walls; It becomes louder when we pass The graveyard
The smoke from the screeching wheels Dances its sinister rise, and is all that I breathe; I choke on the fog and water fills my vision People mistake the invisible devil for air.
And I think, what's scarier? A train going nowhere with no destination With my ticket lasting a lifetime Or a train with an eventual dead end.
