Window in the front,
portal by his side.
Performed a stunt,
and stopped the ride.
.
For him, it was a choice made,
for others, no other way.
Walls were only there to aid,
bricks for someone else to lay.
There was no need to be afraid,
for everything, they had to pay.
Time he wished he could trade,
for tracks that sometimes go stray.
Forest always seen as a shade,
not answering, when they pray.
In the end, the words will fade,
everything is written in the final play.
.
To care for lights,
he was taught.
Now through nights,
the train of thought.

Electric despair
Just a fraction
A hit of desire

Supply and demand
Trading peace for the land
Starting fires

It's nothing of news
It rots and pollutes
It mocks what you do
It's ready to shoot
Doesn't care who was there
Media covered the truth

No mans land
*******

Snuffing the come up
I live for the underhand jobs
I'm a mob boss
I need a cough drop
Choking on the reasons
History repeating stand down

The stench of division
Clouding my vision
So loud indecision
Surrounds my conviction
Rendering me as a corpse
Send all my hobbies up north
Where it's going down
So poised
With a corpse to throw
Self love
Plus more room to grow
Oh so bold
Must be snorting that pale moon glow
Must be chugging that everclear
Must be clutching that heart so dear
What a life
Yet I'm gonna get it right
Peers

Oh god
Can you hear me out
Question
From whom did you learn all your lessons
Tested I figured you ad libbed the message
I'm out to find what the silence is betting

So petty
So don't test me
War ready
With the goal on flexing
I run the patience of clocks
Outliving haters a personal hobby
Spited to death
**** cam is lit fam
Ex lady thinking
***** I don't really give a ****
Never made a baby
Always played the run around

Heh

Sorry about that
But what am I to do
When that *** so fat
Got me hella in the mood
When you let me see it clap

I got an eigth of shrooms
I'm tryna make it bloom
A blunt to match
Some room to move
Stratosphere blazing as we cloud the room
Last year faded off the ought to do
While I sit here waiting for my star to shoot

Topsy turvy
Match the gloom
In a vile plume as I engage the noose
Hopeful boy taking polaroids
Everlasting days
Never lasting joys

Come on

Just blast away
Growing pains from my defeat
Burned at stakes from past mistakes
Ambition bathed in flames

Ascension know my name
Lotus petals
Unshackled
I craft on broken glass
This ******* built to last

Sitting in the drivers seat
Laughing at my lack of drive
The taste of irony
Hinting at my suicide
This right here is do or die
Scared of heights
Grit teeth and fly
Copped me some stolen wings
Deceit no thang to me
Yet I still can't sleep
Relax my mind
Third eye still crooked why
Bad batch of LSD
What the hell you want from me

Lamentations of the soul
Cascading broken notes
Wretched lessons I provoke
The wailings of a lonely ghost

Praying karma takes me home
Been wayward from the start
        Been wayward from the start
Chasing shadows thinking stars were mine to handle
Dismantled
I've learn reality's a gale of sin
And I'm the candle
Now watch as I unravel

Have you ever
rolled down your windows
to hear the train
as it rolls by?
Or do you keep
your music turned up,
heat on high,
and curse
impatiently?

Sometimes
I get so distracted
by all the competing
voices that I forget
to slow down
and really listen.

I find myself
looking for the approval
of people
rather than seeking
the embrace
of the One who
really matters.

His voice is soft
because He doesn't
feel the need to
showcase His
profundity.
He whispers because
He wants
a leaned-in-ear
to listen.

Someone who sees
the signal lights blinking
and who knows enough
to shut everything off,
roll the windows down,
and listen.

a beautiful lady ...

waiting only for you ...
with my heart's train ...
with all my love ...
which it created ...
since i saw this world ...
with my first breathe ...
i knew the love ...
and started the love ...
only with you ...
learnt how to love ...
and taught you ...
how to love me ...
and how to be ...
the master of love ...
because of you ...
i stopped my train ...
only for you ...
my sweetheart ...
and never anyone ...
to get my train ...
it's only for you ...
it's my heart's train ...
never to run with you ...
it's only had one seat ...
and you are the queen ...
the queen to my heart's train ...

Just when we think
Life is on our side
We lose control

Off the rails we go
Into the inky blackness
Our body takes a toll

The tunnel closes up
And we can't see light
Adrift is our soul

We grasp at the emptiness
For anything to guide us
Something to make us whole

The only things that can help
Are ourselves
Only we can achieve our goal

Our life is our train
Our friends the rails
And our passion the coal

So it is up to us
To get back on track
And let our wheels roll

Life took our control
So we push forward
To take back what it stole

"I didn't feel ready,"
She uttered, holding steady
To a coffee cup with a lipstick stain
That she rubbed off on another train
With hair disheveled and eyes aglow
She recounts times when she said "no"
To boys and men that crawled their way
Into her bed some other day
She laughs with pride
And steps outside
Grasping her girlfriend's hand.
Observed at Landsdowne subway station.

Within the fog and the fire
The heavy smoke blackens lungs
A locomotive derailed and unhinged
Once a steaming freight
But now a mess of twisted metal and flaming diesel
The dead lay silent and disfigured
Hypnotized by the blazing giant
The ******* the train is nothing more
Than an illusion, or perhaps a delusion;
What is she, if not the bitter, bitter dregs,
The last of the burnt coffee, gone cold,
The watered down scrapings off the bottom
Of the cup we call life?
